This unique volume is an easy and enjoyable read that inspires tourism researchers and professionals alike to think outside conventional knowledge paradigms and approaches to invent and shape tourism futures. This is a must-read book, given the COVID-19 induced transformations and the overdue imperatives for a tourism reset.
Dimitrios Buhalis, Bournemouth University, UK
<p>Tourism has always been about escapism, excitement and adventure travel. Yeoman and colleagues take these virtues to new limits through stories and analysis about the future of tourism through the lens of science fiction. If you want to look beyond the world of COVID-19 and find a far future view of tourism, this is the book to read.</p>
Malcolm Roughead, Chief Executive, VisitScotland, UK
As a long-time SF fan, I’m never surprised when such ‘fictions’ become ‘real’, so I am thrilled to see tourism researchers using this framework to consider the future of tourism in what has become a very dystopic world. The strength and range of perspectives presented makes this a must-read for all in tourism and beyond.
