The handbook covers an impressive methodological and geographical range of diverse research, which is further underpinned by (mostly) comprehensive historiographical discussions and recommendations for further reading. It is therefore reasonable to assume that the handbook will serve as an indispensable starting point and a treasure trove for countless future studies in the history of tourism.
