From binaries to ontogenesis in tourism encounters
Following on Eriksson's (2025) critique of tourism scholarship's impulse to “transcend” host–guest binaries, this commentary uses Deleuzian concepts to shift analysis from taking binaries as starting points to examining how they arise in situated encounters through stabilisation. We distinguish the actual organisation of an encounter (roles, routines, rules, and material arrangements currently holding) from its virtual field (differential pressur…
Posthumanist theory and tourism practice
Entangled engagements
This review summarizes some key moments in the development of ethics in tourism research and practice where three main areas of concern are identified: socio-economic inequalities, cultural discriminations, and more-than-human speciesism. Following a brief historical review, the paper delves into some current trends and ethical concerns in tourism geographies, which trace back to the utilitarian ethics within which contemporary tourism emerged, a…

Rethinking rurality in rural tourism
The concept of rurality has been widely debated among scholars, yet rarely questioned in tourism research. We argue that new approaches to rurality in rural tourism research need to be explored if a more inclusive and diverse rurality is to be found. For this purpose, three fundamental dimensions of dominant approaches to tourism rurality, particularly in the Global North, are problematized in the paper: rural as the opposite of, what is not an u…
The ‘misplaced’ vulnerability of tourism studies
As the closing article of the Special Issue of TRR, 'Vulnerabilities and Viabilities in Tourism Studies', the paper takes each one of the articles in the issue as reference and looks in them at concurrences and diffractions concerning claims of vulnerability and viability proposals for the field of tourism studies. The paper problematizes current practices of tourism research, and focuses on the vulnerability of tourism scholarship; postdiciplina…
An affective and posthumanist cosmopolitan hospitality
This conceptual article argues for revisiting and revising notions of cosmopolitanism and hospitality in light of the increasingly interconnected local to global domain of contemporary tourism. We briefly trace the contributions of three key philosophers in modernity who have contributed to the theorization of these concepts: Immanuel Kant, Emmanuel Levinas, and Jacques Derrida. We then note some shortcomings of these approaches for contemporary …
Partnerships and the SDGs in a cross-border destination
This paper seeks to identify the potential that cross-border tourism partnerships may have for destination integration and how it may contribute to advancing SDG goals in these regions. It takes the cross-border Cerdanya Valley as a case study. Tourism development in this region initially evolved without much regard for SDGs, nor for cross-border destination integration. This started to change with the emergence of a community-led cross-border to…
Grassroots innovation in justice tourism
Most social innovations in tourism still epitomize initiatives that although ostensibly respond to the need for sustainable solutions, nonetheless, reinforce 'socially-friendly' or 'moralistic' forms of commodification and depoliticization of travel. To date, no case of grassroots innovations in the tourism literature has been explicitly analyzed as such. The chapter describes the potential power held by grassroots innovation in keeping commodifi…
Health and local food consumption in cross-cultural tourism mobility
A healthy diet is vital to sustaining tourist mobility. In cross-cultural mobility, tourists must face strange local eating environments in tourism place and the complex health problems that these environments may cause. Existing research on tourist food consumption and health mainly addresses health from a biomedical perspective by emphasizing food nutrition and hygiene. We adopt an assemblage approach to understanding health as a relational out…
Conceptualizing justice tourism and the promise of posthumanism
The past two decades of tourism research have seen a growing interest in the relationship between tourism and justice. Some of this attention has focused on the just or unjust outcomes of mainstream tourism, and how it could contribute more to justice. Other research has directed the attention to the justice outcomes of alternative forms of tourism, where their increased commodification and de-politicization has limited the potential justice bene…
Back to the future
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify and describe the most recent (or emerging) trends likely to have a major impact in shaping the future of tourism in Europe. Design/methodology/approach The methodology of this paper involved in-depth literature review of European Union policies, initiatives and programs. Also, semi-structured interviews were conducted with key individuals/organisations, mainly at a European level, but also includin…
Global Coordination and Regulation of Tourism
Tourism is a complex phenomenon in scale and scope. Interrelated with other systems (ecological, social, economic, political) from the local to the global, its impacts and effects transcend borders, making coordination and regulation highly challenging. Global mobilities (both physical and virtual) and neoliberal globalization further complicate enabling just and sustainable tourism. New forms of governance are needed to address global threats li…

Tourism destination zoning in mountain regions
This paper puts into question the conventional way of delineating tourism destination borders in terms of taken-for-granted administrative boundaries. Despite the fact that the literature on destination boundaries advocates for conceptual frameworks where customers' consumption patterns play a more fundamental role, instances of actual attempts of structuring tourism geographies into 'new tourism areas' are scant, and instances of zoning on the b…
Heritage tourism clusters along the borders of Mexico
This article seeks to find potential heritage tourism clusters in border areas. Literature about tourism destinations is essentially focused on administrative-bound areas, while little attention has been paid to functional regions. The research is based on a methodological exercise to contribute to this debate by analyzing the case of three border regions between Mexico, the USA, Guatemala and Belize, respectively. These borders have never been s…
Gestión de precios en un sistema de Revenue Management hotelero en línea
La informatizacin de los sistemas de Revenue Management (RM) en el turismo es creciente en los ltimos aos, as como su utilizacin en empresas tursticas y su transformacin hacia la gestin en lnea.

The Role of Local Institutions as Intermediary Agents in the Industrial District
This paper proposes a theoretical integration of both social capital and territorial perspectives for the study of industrial districts and their implications for individual firms. As a result of this integration, an industrial district can be identified as a network of dense and strong ties. According to this description, industrial districts benefit from fine-grained and tacit knowledge exchanges and from norms and values promoting cooperative …
