Now more than ever, there is a need for designing and implementing strategies towards sustainability-minded tourism practices. Stakeholders are charged not only with rescuing this key, job-creating industry from the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, but also with transforming conventional tourism, which&nbsp;has exacerbated the climate crisis through&nbsp;pollution,&nbsp;encroachment on ecosystems, and extractivist land use.&nbsp;Including contributions from international experts at the interdisciplinary nexus of tourism studies, this book provides fresh insights on sustainable tourism by platforming research dedicated to sustainable tourism-related models, innovations, and policies.&nbsp;This book contributes to our collective understanding of how we can enjoy and benefit from travel while enacting positive, sustainable changes.<div><br></div><div>Thomas Walker is a Professor of Finance at the John Molson School of Business, Concordia University, Canada, as well as Director of the Jacques Menard/BMO Center for Capital Markets Research and the Concordia University Research Chair in Emerging Risk Management.<p></p><p>Ender Demir is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Business Administration, School of Social Sciences, Reykjavik University, Iceland.
