Recognizing the increasing gap between what is researched in academic community and what is practiced in industry, this series aims to bring together academic and industry leaders in their respective fields to discuss, exchange, and debate issues critical to the advancement of tourism. The book series intends to not only create a platform for academics and practitioners to share theories and practices with each other, but more importantly, to serve as a collaborative venue for meaningful synthesis.
Each volume will feature a distinct theme by focusing on a current or upcoming niche or “hot” topic. It shows how theories and practices inform each other; how both have evolved, advanced, and been applied; and how industry best practices have benefited from, and contributed to, theoretical developments. Volume editors have both strong academic credentials and significant consulting or other industry engagement experiences. Chapter contributors will be identified through professional conferences and trade conventions. In general, the book series seeks a synergy of how concepts can inform actions, and vice versa. The book series will inspire a new generation of researchers who can translate academic discoveries to deliverable results valuable to practitioners.

Preface
Many tourism researchers from around the world want to make a difference with their studies. This volume offers a rich international selection of studies that seek to deliver on this aim. The topics covered are diverse, as befits an economic, social, and environmentally influential sector that finds different forms of expression across the globe. The inspiration for this book derives from the enthusiasm of the largely European cohort of scholars and supporters who developed the tForum conferences. As documented in more detail in the first chapter, this book is not one reliant on conference proceedings. Three chapters were developed from conference presentations, but more was expected of authors than might normally be delivered at a quality academic conference. Rather, it is the spirit of the tForum conferences which infuses these pages rather than the immediate contributions.
The stated mission and objectives of the conferences held in Naples (2015) and Mallorca (2018) were as follows: The t-Forum is a global institution with the core mission of bridging tourism theory and practice by transferring knowledge (t-Intelligence) to and within tourism sectors. The objectives of the t-Forum are to identify sources of t-intelligence in destinations, businesses, and knowledge institutions, to foster, support, and create platforms for the dissemination of t-intelligence; to facilitate the transfer and use of t-intelligence in destinations, businesses, and knowledge institutions; and to nurture t-intelligence programs or actions for innovation in tourism. The present volume hopefully delivers these kinds of insights and ideas to readers. Authors were invited to consider and embrace these analyses to action aims pertaining to tourism intelligence. At the very least, it is hoped that the resulting volume provides examples of achievements and actions built on scholarly activity in many diverse settings.
The authors wish to thank all the contributors for delivering manuscripts to the deadlines we have imposed upon them. The timely return of edited chapters and the other necessary documentation needed to write a scholarly chapter has been much appreciated. To reflect the global tourism community, the authors come from many countries and most are not native English speakers. It is a pleasure to see these diverse voices establishing the case that research can have consequences and deliver on the t-Forum objectives. The editors would like to thank Emerald and Professor Jafar Jafari for offering us the opportunity to work on this project. His continuous involvement in the project and associated diligent commentary have been appreciated. We would also like to provide an acknowledgment to the late Eduardo Fayos Sola whose work in the development of tourism policy and tourism research was a part of the background for this volume.
