As the sector continues to grow, it faces intensifying challenges, ranging from resident vs. visitor tensions to workforce shortages and environmental strain that the traditional, fragmented model can no longer manage effectively.

Through global destination case studies, it showcases how collaboration among diverse actors can transform challenges into opportunities for sustainable growth.
