It is immensely refreshing to see tourism’s potential to nourish values such as truth, beauty and virtue addressed in this fine book. The chapters are theoretically sound and inspiring, and raise important issues of tourism’s future role in societal development. The changes in global consciousness discussed in this timely book suggest that tourism’s successful trajectory must be re-visioned - with values such as ethics, aesthetics and knowledge as critical components. This philosophical book is at once uplifting, provocative and informative.
