Introduction: Managing Tourism in a Changing World
No full textManaging Tourism in a Changing World provides an overview of state-of-the-art research surrounding today’s tourism management. Recognising the relevance of tourism activities as major economic drivers, this book offers a significant contribution to the advancement of managerial practice in the tourism field. It is the outcome of the collective intellectual efforts of a number of scholars, with dissimilar geographical roots and backgrounds, who cultivate original research on tourism management from a variety of perspectives (economic, managerial) and using multiple methods (theory building, experimental and inductive case-based inquiries). The book displays three key distinctive features. First, it recognises tourism activities as major economic drivers. Second, it offer a prolific heterogeneity of theoretical perspectives, methods and results. Finally it is the outcome of a collective intellectual effort. Researchers aim at contributing to the advancement of the managerial practice in the field, which is a distinctive trait of recent publications.
While drawing on multiple theoretical perspectives and adopting different epistemological paradigms and methodologies, each chapter attempts to answer a wide range of research questions related to a number of relevant themes in the following fields: destination management, marketing and branding, inter-organizational dynamics and corporate social responsibility in the tourism sector

Introduction
No full textThe growing importance of tourism as a socioeconomic phenomenon,
together with the understanding that even apparently profitable tourism
companies and destinations endowed originally with the best assets
(natural and cultural) could not survive the escalating international competition
without good managerial practices (Crouch, 2011) has provided
significant momentum for the development of the disciplinary field of
tourism management in the last three decades
Conclusion
No full textBy recognizing the importance of tourism as a socioeconomic phenomenon,
this book has contributed to the advancement of the knowledge in
the fields of tourism management, marketing, and development, with a
specific focus on the role of physical and digital networks and Information
and Communcation Technologies (ICTs). The first theme that can be identified is the importance of cooperative
networks and collaborative ventures between the diverse and multifaceted
stakeholders of a tourism destination. The second common theme that clearly emerges from the volume is
the ever-increasing importance of digital networks and ICTs. ICTs not
only are generating a major shift in the performance of individuals and
companies involved in the tourism sector (e.g., by increasing efficiency
and effectiveness in the reservation and booking processes), but also have
a significant impact on the way individuals consume services and enjoy
experiences in space and time. The third common topic is related to the importance and the role of
network structures, be them digital (see Part I of the book) or physical
(see Part II of the book). Their evolution inf luences a number of aspects
crucial for the development of a tourism destination such as cooperation
( Chapters 8 and 9 ), performance ( Chapters 2 and 7 ), information
( Chapters 1 , 2 , 3 , and 6 ), and knowledge f lows ( Chapters 2 , 3 , and 6 )
