This is an excellent and very timely book given the uncertainties facing tourism destinations over the next two decades. The volume’s futures-based perspective is key to understanding these challenges and planning for their potential impacts using a variety of tools, including scenario analysis. The importance of this book cannot be overstated at this time in our history.

Probably the best textbook for Tourism Futures Studies by the co-founders of the discipline. If you are wondering how to explore the future of tourism academically, read this book! At Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences, we use it in our Master's programme Tourism Futures Studies as the foundational work. Simply outstanding!

<p>This book does great service to the tourism industry and tourism education by offering detailed accounts of numerous applied strategic foresight projects. It also provides a useful outline of theoretical and methodological aspects of scenario planning and strategic foresight. It should be recommended reading for tourism strategy practice and education. The scenario methods described can also be adopted to other sectors.</p>
