About this book

Topical and novel, this book critically explores the possible, probable and preferable futures of tourism destinations exposing the reader to numerous issues and challenges related to current, global societies and geopolitical settings and adaptive strategies to mitigate such challenges at all levels and contexts.

This is based on unique longitudinal research over 15 years comparing and contrasting destinations in mature urban metropolitan destination, (emerging) island destination with many developments and fast developing destination in the Asia Pacific (Melbourne, Penang and Chiang Mai). The interconnected facets of a community, internal issues and challenges, external drivers of change, and government interventions in envisioning the future of these destinations are explored along with core issues of climate change, sustainability, ecological and socio-ecological dimensions of destinations. This significant volume offers insight into the environmental, political, and economic challenges facing destinations and possible ways of alleviating these at different scales and contexts informing future policy and development.

This book is essential reading for all students, researchers, academics interested in tourism futures.
