Digital technologies are reshaping tourism faster than ever before, transforming how businesses operate, how destinations engage with visitors, and how travelers experience the world. From artificial intelligence and digital marketing to sustainable tourism strategies and cultural heritage preservation, the tourism industry is entering a new era of innovation and strategic adaptation. This volume explores these developments and presents a comprehensive view of how digital transformation is redefining one of the world’s most dynamic industries.The book examines the impact of digitalization on tourism businesses, digital leadership and organizational maturity, the rise of the digital traveler, and the integration of intelligent technologies into hospitality and tourism operations. It also explores digital destinations shaped by social media, customer-centric innovation in medical tourism, and crisis management in an increasingly connected world. Special attention is given to sustainable tourism and cultural heritage preservation, showing how digital tools can support responsible development while enhancing visitor engagement and destination resilience. The volume also addresses ethics, responsibility, and future perspectives in digital tourism.Combining conceptual approaches with practical applications, this book offers valuable insights for researchers, educators, tourism professionals, and policymakers, examining the business models, strategic management practices, and technological innovations shaping the future of travel and hospitality.

Partial-least-squares path modeling (PLS-PM), a composite-based form of structural equation modeling (SEM), offers great practical advantages to researchers and practitioners. It has been gaining increasing attention in various disciplines, including management information systems, marketing, strategic management, accounting, family business research, operations management, and organizational research. Yet advanced PLS-SEM techniques are not broadly used in hospitality and tourism research, which spells missed opportunities in terms of detailed analyses and actionable findings. Applying Partial Least Squares in Tourism and Hospitality Research provides a forum for leading names in the field to discuss the major topical issues and to demonstrate the usefulness of PLS path modeling for academics and practitioners in hospitality and tourism. Its ten chapters discuss key aspects of advanced PLS analysis and its practical applications, covering new guidelines and improvements in the use of PLS-PM as well as individual topics such as multi-group analysis (PLS-MGA), the predictive qualities of PLS models, minimum sample size estimation methods, the reporting of mediation and moderation analysis, the assessment of the reliability of reflectively measured constructs, and the assessment of overall model fit through consistent PLS and the bootstrap-based test. This comprehensive coverage serves both as an introduction to PLS for the uninitiated and as a go-to reference work for researchers and practitioners interested in the most recent advances in PLS methodology. Applying Partial Least Squares in Tourism and Hospitality Research is a must-read for academics in hospitality and tourism research and for hospitality and tourism practitioners such as industry consultants. Insofar as it can serve as a guidebook to recent advances within PLS-SEM, it is also of interest to researchers from other disciplines including management, business, and marketing.
