Overview

Economics and Tourism: New Perspectives in Social Sciences provides a unique and comprehensive interdisciplinary examination of how economic principles and social science perspectives intersect within the tourism sector. This scholarly volume assembles insights from academics and industry professionals to explore the multifaceted dynamics of the international perspective on tourism’s role in economic and social transformation. Beginning with foundational economic theories and frameworks, the book delves into the application of these models to understand tourism demand, investment strategies, and policymaking. Readers are guided through discussions on tourism’s significant role in international and sustainable development, considering factors such as job creation, infrastructure expansion, and the enhancement of regional economies. The book addresses transformative modern issues such as the impact of digital technology on tourist behaviour and destination management, along with the growing emphasis on sustainability in tourism. Global case studies illustrate innovative methods for balancing economic growth with environmental responsibility and community welfare, while the exploration of trends like cultural tourism, experiential travel, and niche markets highlights tourism’s evolving economic influence. Through empirical research and forward-looking theoretical analyses, contributors present fresh tools and actionable insights for navigating the tourism sector's complexities. With its rich interdisciplinary focus, Economics and Tourism is an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, and professionals looking to enhance sustainable practices, foster inclusive growth, and drive innovation in the global tourism economy.
