The world is in turbulence. Shocks to its economic, social and environmental
systems are increasingly frequent. As we seek to understand and predict these, we
must also strive to create new and different systems that address disturbing problems
such as human rights, social justice, economic imbalances and inequalities,
environmental degradation and climate change. Governments have not been able to
address many of society’s problems due to lack of resources, lack of political will,
short election cycles, and warring ideologies as one regime replaces another
contributing to a breakdown of civil society (Kickul & Lyons, 2012). Tourism
exists within this turbulent world, and the call for more sustainable, resilient and
responsible tourism development is getting louder. Tourism researchers are working
to address tourism’s impact on destinations, and tourism’s place in the world of
the future. If tourism is to thrive in the future, a more agile, responsive and forwardlooking
industry is necessary to help society move through these profound changes.
We must also urgently consider whether tourism can continue as an end unto itself,
or whether it can realize its potential as a force for good by contributing to
conscious social, economic and environmental development.
