The distinctions between tourism and migration are increasingly blurred. Tourism often drives various forms of mobility, and an international workforce is essential to maintaining functioning tourism economies. This book explores intersections of tourism and migration, considering their relationships with and impacts on social sustainability. The chapters explore in a variety of contexts how the planning, development and governance of tourism affects the sustainability of communities, which consequently influences attitudes towards migrants and tourists. They also consider how migrant-local connections may evolve, creating opportunities for positive, symbiotic co-existence or intergroup tensions and exploitative relationships. The book paves the way for future work examining new forms and interactions between migration and tourism that contribute to social sustainability. This book will be of great value to students, academics, and researchers interested in tourism, geography, migration/diaspora studies and sociology. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Tourism Geographies.

The rapid changes in many dimensions that have occurred in the past decade have resulted in significant transformations in people's conditions and lifestyles. The role of technology in facilitating the fastest pace of development in human history remains a major theme of our times, especially as humanity faced the most severe pandemic of the century, COVID-19. One of the major human activities particularly affected by the pandemic is tourism, which came to a near complete halt due to travel restrictions. The impact of at least two of these factors—technological developments and the emergence of epidemics—makes it imperative for tourism to adapt. However, sustainability, a trend that has spanned more than half a century, remains a path that tourism, like any other activity, needs to be aware of, guided by, and headed towards. Technological and Managerial Approaches to Fostering Sustainable Travel compiles research on sustainable tourism from experts, including academics, researchers, and practitioners in the field of tourism and related disciplines. It covers topics such as artificial intelligence, hotel management, and quality management, offering valuable resources for academics, researchers, and students in their teaching and research. Similarly, entrepreneurs and professionals can use it as data for research and development, operations, and related activities.

This comprehensive book focuses on how the COVID-19 pandemic is transforming travel and tourism, globally. Despite the devastation caused by COVID-19, authors argue that within the ongoing crisis, there is also an opportunity to positively transform the tourism sector in ways that contribute to a more hopeful future for tourism practitioners, tourists and host communities. As the world emerges from the shadow of COVID-19 there will not be a return to the "normal". Rather, the volume shares a vision of global transformation that is driven at least in part by the changing ways people in the post-COVID-19 era may travel and encounter each other and their environments. Individual chapters explore topics such as: regenerative economies, transformational travel, critical perspectives on pandemics and tourism, sustainable development and resilience post-COVID-19, re-discovering and re-localising tourism, global (im)mobilities, transforming tourism management, as well as new value systems for travel and tourism including the chance to strengthen social equity and social justice as tourism returns after COVID-19. In this edited volume, a series of senior and emerging scholars engage with debates on how to best contribute to more substantial, meaningful, and positive planetary shifts within the tourism industry. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Tourism Geographies.
