Current Issue
This edition dives into how sustainable growth, tech breakthroughs, and cutting-edge research methods all come together. It includes five pieces, from real-world case studies to sharp theoretical takes. Highlights cover the mixed blessings of infrastructure in India's Lahaul Valley, the moral and eco challenges of using AI in hotels, what motivates people to choose eco-friendly stays (drawing on Plog's personality types), and how fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) helps close the gap between different research approaches in tourism studies.
