Tourism Research in a Changing World

Ze wstępu:
The Monograph "Tourism Research in a Changing World" includes a set of 22 articles that result from papers presented at the 2th International Conference of Tourism, Hospitality and Recreation. This conference was organized by a consortium formed by Tourism Research Group of the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria (GITUR), Portugal, and two Polish institutions: the University School of Physical Education in Poznan and the University of Economy in Bydgoszcz, being promoted by EJTHR - European Journal of Tourism, Hospitality and Recreation. In our increasingly complex and diverse world, the problems facing the tourism research community are also increasingly heterogeneous and multifaceted. It is therefore natural and even vital that the development of tourism studies must be strongly supported by research networks that reflect an intense collaborative work of many researchers worldwide. This Monograph is a clear expression of this new collaborative environment, since the articles published here represent the efforts of the 45 researchers from 8 countries, namely: Brazil, Hungary, Iraq, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Serbia and Spain. But it is also the contribution of 50 other researchers from 13 countries, who kindly agreed to review the articles submitted by authors. It was up to the task of giving publishers an overall coherence to the document, standardizing it and framing the various contributions.
