The innovation of the book “Routledge Handbook of Trends and Issues in Global Tourism Supply and Demand”, lies in the proposed classification scheme: i.e. in the acceptance that “not all tourism markets are the same and that they need special attention in relation to trends and issues”, thereby avoiding “laundry list” type of approaches.
The Routledge Handbook of Trends and Issues in Global Tourism Supply and Demand, by Alastair M. Morrison and Dimitrios Buhalis, provides a uniquely comprehensive overview of trends and issues in supply and demand in the tourism industry, globally. The book uses a standard systematic classification of trends and themes by the contributions of 70 of the world’s leading tourism scholars, whose confluence guaranties the credibility and authority of this handbook. The handbook examines the interactions between trends and issues and emphasizes the importance of monitoring and interpreting them on a global scale. The book’s areas of emphasis focus on the most important trends and issues in the subject area to 2021–2022, including the work of keynote contributors, stakeholders – their interest and engagement with the subject area, in forecasts to 2032, 2042 and 2052, the opportunities and challenges of these trends (who wins and who loses –

The book aims in contributing on guidance for the development of a sustainable competitive advantage both in entrepreneurship and in general development policies, providing also forecasts for the coming decades. It comes as a vital tool in the tourism and hospitality industry, for professionals, researchers and students contributing to their further information and expertise. The structure of the book consists of three parts:
i. Part 1 focuses on supply-side trends such as transport, attractions, culture, heritage tourism, technology, policies and destination management.
ii. Part 2 critically examines the trends of external factors, including the impact of terrorism, multi-crisis destinations, the significant contribution of Generation Z to the sector, the sharing economy platform regulation and natural tourism in the future.
