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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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. * Dimitrios Buhalis, Bournemouth University, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTourism has always been about escapism, excitement and adventure travel. Yeoman and colleagues take these virtues to new limits through stories and analysis about the future of tourism through the lens of science fiction. If you want to look beyond the world of COVID-19 and find a far future view of tourism, this is the book to read.\u003c\/p\u003e * Malcolm Roughead, Chief Executive, VisitScotland, UK *\u003cbr\u003eAs a long-time SF fan, I’m never surprised when such ‘fictions’ become ‘real’, so I am thrilled to see tourism researchers using this framework to consider the future of tourism in what has become a very dystopic world. The strength and range of perspectives presented makes this a must-read for all in tourism and beyond. * Sue Beeton, Independent Researcher *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFigures and Table\u003cbr\u003e Contributors\u003cbr\u003e Foreword\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 1.
