Anna Farmaki – författare

This significant and timely book critically discusses the effects of emerging trends and shifting dynamics on the tourism and hospitality industry at local, regional, national, and international levels in a holistic manner.

This book offers a multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary approach and examines emerging topics such as technology and disruptive economies as well as the Covid-19 pandemic that are likely to change the future of the industry, either positively or negatively. The book thus advances the knowledge surrounding emergent controversies pertaining to tourism and hospitality including the growth of alternative business models (e.g., sharing economy business models), travel in light of climate change, and human resource ethics given the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), data, and algorithms.

Offering a platform for the critical discussion of pertinent transformations and, as such, providing theoretical and practical insights, this book will be of great value to destination planners, policymakers, industry practitioners, educators, and upper-level students of tourism and hospitality.

This highly prescient Research Agenda critically examines the delicate intersection of peace and tourism and proposes further research in order to explore how tourism may contribute to peace or, conversely, hinder the peacebuilding efforts of destinations in conflict.

Anna Farmaki brings together a wealth of expertise from scholars who present the peace and tourism nexus from a variety of different perspectives, using both empirical evidence and conceptual research to support cases. Chapters discuss tourism as a peace-builder, the acceptance of dark tourism, a gender approach to peace through tourism, and corporate social responsibility as a contributor to peace in conflict-ridden situations. This innovative and forward-thinking Research Agenda provides a vital contribution to this burgeoning area of research, carrying implications for local communities, tourist destinations and wider society at large in conjunction with the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.

Providing a much-needed re-examination of the connection between peace and tourism, this book will prove essential reading for students, academics and researchers interested in human geography, political geography and geopolitics, tourism management and business and management. Considering many practical outcomes of tourism policy, this book will also benefit professionals working in tourism, foreign policy, public policy and international relations.
