AcademicRecenzii
"The book addresses several key issues that merit particular attention in the latter part of the first quarter of the 21st century. Firstly, it examines current trends in tourism. Secondly, it analyses the evolving nature of tourists. Thirdly, it considers the various facets of tourism. These three areas are of critical importance when it comes to planning and managing tourism in the coming years."
Carlos Costa, Full Professor, Department (School) of Economics, Management, Industrial Engineering and Tourism, University of Aveiro, Portugal
"Tourists are not just consumers - they actively shape the tourism system. Understanding their distinct behaviours and motivations isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity for any destination or business aiming to stay competitive. This book offers a well-structured and insightful look into those dynamics, raising points that deserve deeper discussion—both in academic circles and among practitioners."
Josip Mikulić, Full Professor, Faculty of Economics & Business, University of Zagreb, Croatia
"This edited volume offers timely insights into evolving tourist behaviors and experiences, particularly in relation to sustainability and digital transformation. The empirical depth and conceptual contributions make it a valuable resource for both scholars and practitioners."
