Today, tourism offers a privileged perspective to explore the relationships between sustainability, innovation, and inclusion. This volume, Tourism, Sustainability and Innovation: Low-Tech Roots and High-Tech Horizons (part of the World Sustainability Series), includes contributions from scholars with 23 different nationalities (Belgium, Bulgaria, Cameroon, China, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Morocco, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Taiwan, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom). This diversity reflects the richness of perspectives included in the book, encompassing around fifteen different case studies and country contexts, analyzed through a variety of cultural, economic, and institutional lenses. Collectively, the chapters open a dialogue on how to reconcile practices deeply rooted in local territories with the emerging horizons shaped by new technologies. Central to the theme of Tourism, Sustainability and Innovation: Low-Tech Roots and High-Tech Horizons is a creative tension: how do we embrace the authenticity of local practices, traditional know-how and cultural resources, often carriers of resilience and 'low-tech' sustainability, while purposely bringing in the digital, intelligent, automated solutions that are transforming tourism today? The difficulty is not to play past against future, but to think about how innovation can keep hold of tourism's human, social and territorial roots, and at the same time, open new possibilities. From this point of view, notably, we can ask: How can tourism experiences be meaningfully inclusive? How can digital transformation add to our focus on sustainability? And how can technology be deployed not for itself alone, but as a lever for destinations, communities, and stakeholders across the industry?
