ABSTRACT
Throughout the book, there has been only a limited discus-sion of the way in which the global growth of tourism will change, develop and require new forms of planning and management to control its effects. One of the most pressing concerns for planners, decision-makers and businesses is: will tourism stop growing and will it stop spreading across the globe? Major challenges, such as the pressing demands among environmentalists to address the issues of climate change in relation to tourism, are now presenting themselves and this chapter will assess some of the issues shaping the future of tourism.
