This book examines science fiction's theoretical and ontological backgrounds and how science fiction applies to the future of tourism. It recreates and invents the future of tourism in a creative and disruptive manner, reconceptualising tourism through alternative and quantum leap thinking that go beyond the normative or accepted view of tourism. The chapters, focusing on areas such as disruption, sustainability and technology, draw readers into the unknown future of tourism - a future that may be disruptive, dystopian or utopian. The book brings a new theoretical paradigm to the study of tourism in a post COVID-19 world and can be used to explore, frame and even form the future of tourism. It will capture the imagination and inspire readers to address tourism's challenges of tomorrow.

Industry Reviews

This unique volume is an easy and enjoyable read that inspires tourism researchers and professionals alike to think outside conventional knowledge paradigms and approaches to invent and shape tourism futures. This is a must-read book, given the COVID-19 induced transformations and the overdue imperatives for a tourism reset.
