This book is the first authored overview of resilience in tourism and its relationship to the broader resilience literature. The volume takes a multi-scaled approach to examine resilience at the individual, organisation and destination levels, and with respect to the wider tourism system. It covers the different approaches to understanding resilience (the ecological and engineering approaches) and identifies issues with their understanding and application. The book connects issues of resilience to related key concepts such as vulnerability, adaptation, networks, systems, change and social capital. It is designed to be an upper level undergraduate and postgraduate primer on resilience in a tourism context and will be of interest to tourism researchers in planning, development, geography, impacts, sustainability, disaster management and environmental studies.

Resilience is a concept that has largely been treated as an apolitical metaphor in social science. This book goes a considerable way to moving beyond the metaphor and acknowledging the normative but many-faceted implications of resilience thinking. The in-depth and systematic inquiry offers insights into how resilience can be politically understood and given analytical traction in tourism studies and practice, insisting on the consequences for management and accountability when faced with the immediacy of social, economic and ecological justice in the Anthropocene.
