ABSTRACT
Travel and tourism form one of the largest and fastest growing industries, both in the United States and throughout the world. This sector also is changing rapidly. In this chapter (which has been adapted from a forthcoming book of the name: Travel 2015: The Next Big Thing in Travel and Tourism), the senior authors—one a prominent and widely respected forecaster, the other ARAMARK Chair of Hotel and Restaurant Management at the University of Delaware—offer a clear-eyed and compelling look into the future of this diverse field. In addition, they provide tools with which readers can begin to make useful forecasts for their own companies and careers.
