Luxury Tourism and Hospitality are still a neglected issue, a privilege of few that is perceived with some prejudice. This Handbook is one more contribution to shape this trend and bring to the discussion a cutting-edge topic that will pave tourism development in forthcoming years. The Handbook looks at the concept and historical perspectives of luxury and introduces the reader to the challenges of managing and marketing luxury within a contemporary perspective of luxury where technology is the leading figure. This edited book shifts the negative perspective of luxury by relating it with sustainability and mirroring luxury trends after the lurking oddness the pandemic brought to the world. With contributions from international experts in the field, The Emerald Handbook of Luxury Management for Hospitality and Tourism provides a research-led perspective of luxury tourism and hospitality from different angles in major tourist newcomers; a must have volume.
