Book Description
España es actualmente una de las tres primeras potencias turísticas a nivel mundial, junto con Francia y Estados Unidos, con una llegada anual de 60 millones de turistas. Este hecho hace que no podamos analizar la economía y el mundo empresarial españoles sin hacer alusión al sector turístico; sus empresas proporcionan el doce por ciento del empleo en el país y su actividad genera un saldo positivo en la balanza de pagos de 33.000 millones de euros, ya que actúa como factor reequilibrador de las cuentas exteriores de la economía española. Esta situación de bonanza del sector se ha mantenido en épocas de recesión gracias a las continuas mejoras que se están produciendo en las empresas e instituciones turísticas españolas, y de ahí la necesidad de publicar una quinta edición de esta obra actualizada y ampliada en función de estos cambios. En este sentido, se han renovado los capítulos que incorporan legislaciones y/o competencias de la Administración Pública que se hayan visto modificadas. Asimismo, en esta quinta edición se abordan temas como la calidad integral, considerando la calidad medioambiental y la calidad en los destinos, el turismo accesible o la cada vez más intensa internacionalización de las empresas turísticas españolas, aspectos que sin duda han contribuido a que sigamos siendo líderes, a pesar de la fuerte competencia de destinos emergentes. Este manual va dirigido tanto a profesionales como a investigadores y estudiantes universitarios. Sus contenidos y metodología están adaptados a los requerimientos del título de Grado en Turismo, de acuerdo con los Planes de Bolonia. Tras un estudio genérico sobre conceptos básicos de la dirección y gestión de las empresas, analizando temas como la empresa, el empresario y los distintos subsistemas empresariales, haciendo especial alusión a las peculiaridades del sector turístico en cada caso, se aborda la dirección y gestión de los distintos tipos de compañías turísticas (cont.)

Book Description
Tourism is one of the sectors that have undergone substantial change for several decades and in particular due to the restrictions and change in national and international policies since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. This book focuses on how tourism has been innovative, especially in light of these changes, by providing new and novel ways of introducing change into the marketplace. The book focuses on Spain and Portugal, thereby offering an interesting perspective as to how the Iberian Peninsula has adapted based on the new market conditions. This book is the first to focus specifically on these countries and offers an economic geography perspective on tourism innovation. This will provide useful and practical information about how a region has hurt but also thrived in times of global turmoil.

Book Description
Within the framework of tourism companies and tourist destinations, the question of sustainability is gaining importance. Tourists are increasingly aware of the importance of sustainability criteria, awarding greater value to sustainable destinations. Sustainability refers to a wide range of aspects related to climate change, the economic organization of tourism, social values or questions, job creation, and the necessary protection of the culture of destinations and the environment. Therefore, there is a need for studies that consider these aspects in order to achieve the sustainable development of tourist destinations. Fundamental to this is discovering to what degree tourism companies and destinations approach these questions in the strategies they use to deal with problems stemming from their attempts to be more sustainable. Conceptual papers and empirical research on the economic, social, cultural, and environmental aspects related to tourism companies and destinations are welcome. Studies that analyze how these questions and the concept of sustainability are included in tourism companies and destinations are necessary in these modern times. This book was established for these reasons, dedicated to examining sustainability in tourism. The papers included in this Special Issue can help us to determine the new directions being addressed in the research on sustainability tourism.

Book Description
Entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship have become a vehicle that offers solutions for social, environmental, and economic problems. Even though the level of entrepreneurial activity and its diversity have been motivated through public policies, social support has also played an important role in encouraging people to think of entrepreneurship as a desirable career choice. This book brings together analyses of those elements required for entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial intention and action, which ultimately become important leverages of development. Chapters highlight the importance of rural, urban, university, organizational, and family environments for a bunch of intentions and behaviors such as green, sport, social, corporate, innovative, traditional, and gender entrepreneurship. This entrepreneurial diversity is translated into higher development through the empowerment of women, environmental consciousness, and efficient production. Policymakers, scholars, and practitioners can find different examples and cases useful for decision-making, learning, and practice in this book.
