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 book assists the better understanding of value co-creation and co-destruction in tourism development by bringing together different perspectives and disciplines. It provides some examples of how value can be co-created or co-destroyed within the context of tourism.

Tourism is susceptible to uncertainty and incidents that can directly impact the supply and demand of its discretionary products and services. Consensus has been reached among practitioners and academics that consumer experience is more important than ever for enterprises as well as destinations, as the sector has become globalized, reached maturity and become highly competitive. Still, the pathway to success (or failure) lies within the overall satisfaction of visitors and tourists, which heavily depends on perceived value; a concept that can be co-created or co-destroyed by the very interaction between all social actors and stakeholders involved. Value creation or destruction is critical not just for traditional supply and demand, but also for an array of actors across value and distribution chains (including, for example, staff and intermediaries across the networks).

The book will be of great value to scholars, students and policymakers interested in tourism studies and practices and service management, as well as professionals in the field of tourism management.

The chapters were originally published as a special issue of the journal, Tourism Planning & Development.

Meet the wireless security challenges of the future with this key volume

The 6th generation of wireless communication technology—known as 6G—promises to bring both revolutionary advances and unique challenges. Secure communications will be harder than ever to achieve under the new integrated ground, air, and space networking paradigm, with increased connectivity creating the potential for increased vulnerability. Physical-layer security, which draws upon the physical properties of the channel or network to secure information, has emerged as a promising solution to these challenges.

Physical-Layer Security for 6G provides a working introduction to these technologies and their burgeoning wireless applications. With particular attention to heterogeneous and distributed network scenarios, this book offers both the information-theory fundamentals and the most recent developments in physical-layer security. It constitutes an essential resource for meeting the unique security challenges of 6G.

Physical-Layer Security for 6G readers will also find:

Physical-Layer Security for 6G is ideal for wireless research engineers as well as advanced graduate students in wireless technology.
