Sustainability Transitions in Tourism and Hospitality offers vital conceptual and practical insights into the domains of sustainability transitions (ST) in tourism and hospitality sectors, business models, and operations.
Using ST theory, this book addresses the extent to which the tourism and hospitality industries drive the ST by revamping business models and practices to incorporate sustainability into their innovation strategy. The chapters are structured to examine these topics through ST, which entail a comprehensive consideration of the state of knowledge, conceptual underpinning about ST in tourism and hospitality, as well as current and alternative models and governance frameworks that support ST. By doing so, it sheds light on how ST in tourism and hospitality, by virtue of being multi¿dimensional and multi¿actor, are at the interface of political sciences, geography, sociological and behavioural sciences, technology, and innovation studies. This is supported with case¿based insights throughout. This timely volume advances the tourism and hospitality research agenda towards generating an in¿depth understanding of the dynamics, processes, and structures that shape the industry's transition to more sustainable consumption and production systems.
This book will be of pivotal interest to students, researchers, and academics of tourism as well as in development studies disciplines.
