Review

'The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked crises in public health and international travel. As the pandemic continues, it is refreshing to see cross-disciplinary work from experts in tourism and public health. This book assumes a tourism-oriented perspective to ponder the travel industry's role in general wellbeing. The chapters rectify several knowledge gaps between tourism and medical science to encourage stakeholders to explore how travel engagement can shape health promotion and disease prevention.' -- Haifeng Hou, Shandong First Medical University and Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences, China'This book addresses the nexus between tourism and public health/wellbeing to reframe tourism's role in modern society. The 17 chapters constitute a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners. This volume exemplifies the promise of integrating tourism and public health to enhance individuals' wellbeing. This book should prove especially useful for readers seeking to better understand and engage with these industries. The chapters especially underline the need for additional interdisciplinary studies in consumer behaviour, tourism marketing, health care marketing. I highly recommend this book!' -- Haizhong Wang, Sun Yat-sen University, China'This thought-provoking book provides an up-to-date synthesis of key thinking on the field of tourism, health and wellbeing. Applying multidisciplinary perspectives, the authors systematically discuss the challenges and opportunities that tourism may bring to health and wellbeing after the pandemic. This is a must-read book for researchers, students and practitioners interested in tourism, destination management, public health, and wellbeing.' -- Danni Zheng, Fudan University, China'This book is a timely contribution to tourism recovery and advances the body of knowledge by cleverly highlighting the inter-relationships between tourism, health and wellbeing. In a pandemic era where COVID-19 does not discriminate its spread, tourism and hospitality will see tourists moving towards a trajectory of pursuing more health-related services in their hedonistic consumption. This thought-provoking book is the first to examine the role of health and wellbeing in tourism in a pandemic-induced environment and lays a pioneering foundation for future research promoting tourism wellbeing and health for future generations of researchers and tourists.' -- Edmund Goh, Edith Cowan University, Australia
