Introduction

The rapid changes in many dimensions that have occurred in the past decade have resulted in many changes in people's conditions and lifestyles. The role of technology in facilitating the fastest pace of development in human history remains a major theme of our times, especially as humanity faces the most severe pandemic of the century, COVID-19. One of the major human activities that have been particularly affected by the pandemic is tourism, which has come to a near complete halt due to people being unable to travel. The impact of at least two of these factors, namely technological developments and the emergence of epidemics, makes it imperative for tourism to adapt. However, a trend that has spanned more than half a century, sustainability is still a path that tourism, like any other activity, needs to be aware of, guided by, and headed towards.

Objective

This book aims to compile proposals and research results on sustainable tourism from experts, including academics, researchers, and practitioners in the field of tourism and other related disciplines. It will provide the most up-to-date information and views regarding the state and interesting trends of the tourism sector in all its dimensions that interested academics, researchers, and students can use in their teaching and research. Similarly, entrepreneurs and professionals can use it as data for research and development, operations, and related activities as well.
