This important and topical book critically examines the impact of new trends and shifting dynamics on the local, regional, national, and international tourist and hospitality industries.

The first edition of the book written by Anna Farmaki & Nikolaos Pappas takes a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to evaluate new issues that could have a favorable or detrimental impact on the industry's future, including disruptive economics, technology, and the Covid-19 pandemic. Thus, the book contributes to our understanding of emerging debates in the fields of tourism and hospitality, such as the emergence of alternative business models (such as those in the sharing economy), travel in the context of climate change, and human resource ethics in light of the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI), data, and algorithms.
