Tourism in Asia explores how tourism shapes and is shaped by the region’s diverse societies, cultures, economies and environments. Bringing together research from tourism and hospitality studies, geography, anthropology, sociology and Asian studies, the series examines domestic, international and intra-Asian travel across urban, rural, coastal and island settings. Topics include heritage and identity, tourist experiences, hospitality practices and encounters, community livelihoods, development and governance, and the environmental consequences of tourism. It also explores Asia’s connections with the wider world, examining how travellers, investment and cultural exchanges from Asia influence tourism elsewhere, and how developments beyond the region shape tourism within it.

Welcoming monographs and edited collections, the series connects detailed local research with wider regional and global debates, providing a platform for scholarship grounded in Asian contexts and perspectives.
