Science Fiction, Disruption and Tourism

This book examines science fiction’s theoretical and ontological backgrounds and how science fiction applies to the future of tourism. Focusing on disruption, sustainability and technology, it 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.
