Timely and accessible, this Handbook offers a thorough account of the growth, development, and changes in the field of tourism planning over recent decades. With contributions from an interdisciplinary and international range of top scholars, it examines critical issues and challenges facing contemporary tourism planning.



Covering research at local, national, and global levels, chapters unpack and frame planning strategies in various destinations, expanding the definition of tourism planning to encompass a range of successful case studies. The Handbook looks at reimagining tourism planning through sustainability; engaging with forms of creative cultural tourism, the smart city, and rethinking how we see, communicate, understand, and can transform tourist destinations. It also highlights how the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified pre-existing issues in the tourism sector, including sustainability, policy, and governance.



Providing both theoretical and practical perspectives on tourism planning, this Handbook is an essential reference for students and scholars in the field. The diversity of perspectives and action-oriented, project-specific approach also make this an invigorating read for tourism planners and practitioners, particularly those focusing on making tourism practices more sustainable.

Industry Reviews
'This Handbook provides a fresh, interdisciplinary and postmodern approach to tourism planning that considers topical issues such as overtourism and community participation. Chapters are contributed by various scholars that not only refresh our understanding of the processes and outcomes of tourism planning, but they also give insights from different type of destinations all over the globe. The Handbook is a valuable source of reference for tourism researchers and policy makers alike.' -- Marianna Sigala, Sheffield Hallam University, UK
'Xie's Handbook on Tourism Planning is a comprehensive and timely compilation that documents progress in research and practice during the half century since the publication of Gunn's pioneering book Vacationscape (1972). Contributing scholar practitioners from 15 countries and regions show the enduring importance of effective and multidisciplinary tourism planning in the complex and interconnected post-pandemic era.' -- Brian King, Texas A&M University, US
'Given the pandemic and the importance of sustainability, Professor Philip Xie has curated an excellent collection of tourism planning research exploring genius loci, "a sense of place", through 26 chapters spanning 15 different countries. This volume will be essential reading for those interested in tourism planning, and its impacts.' -- Stephen Pratt, University of Central Florida, US
