Abstract

As the Co-Editors-in-Chief of the International Journal of Tourism Cities (IJTC), the Editors of the Routledge Handbook of Tourism Cities have a deep and long-term interest in urban tourism research and tourism cities. The main aims of the Routledge Handbook of Tourism Cities are to:
 Review contemporary issues, trends and challenges in urban tourism and tourism cities.
 Present practical approaches and solutions for marketing and branding tourism in urban environments.
 Describe key markets for urban tourism.
 Elaborate on tourism product development innovations and trends for cities.
 Examine the impacts of technology on tourism cities including smart city destination dimensions.
 Explore the unique characteristics of marketing and development of urban tourism in different regions of the world.
The Routledge Handbook of Tourism Cities covers key issues, trends and challenges for urban tourism destinations worldwide as well as contemporary debates related to research and practice in this field. Topics discussed include the marketing and branding of tourism cities, the growth of smart city tourism destinations, sustainability in urban tourism management, overtourism, sharing economy influences on urban destinations, cultural-heritage tourism in cities, business tourism, urbanisation, terrorism, among others. The Routledge Handbook of Tourism Cities merges the latest academic research with insights drawn from practice in urban destinations internationally to provide recommendations for tourism management professionals as well as researchers. Unlike other texts, the Routledge Handbook of Tourism Cities adopts a multidisciplinary approach to tourism drawing from fields such as sociology, psychology, urban management, business and critical management perspectives. In addition to this, a balance is provided between urban destinations in emerging economies and more established tourism cities in G20 countries.
