Reviews “As the world is embracing the next normal of the COVID-19 pandemic, this book is a ray of hope to tourism stakeholders. Enriched with 14 chapters, the book offers clear explanations of relevant concepts and closely scrutinizes the complexities of the tourism industry facing an ongoing pandemic. The book shows a realistic perspective of the tourism landscape shaped by virtuality and technology. The book puts forward some positive and practical concepts for the reset stage of the industry. The range of cases provides useful insights into the strategies that destination management organizations may develop in reaction to the effects of the pandemic and beyond. The book will definitely stimulate interest and delight the readership in quest of knowledge on best practice and lessons from the pandemic.” —Dr. Vanessa GB Gowreesunkar, Associate Professor, Anant National University, India “Once again, one of Latin America’s brightest minds has presented a clear and precise analysis of tourism in the post-COVID world of bio-security. This book by Maximiliano E. Korstanje, PhD, and Babu George, PhD, is a must read for anyone interested in the future of tourism in this world of current and potentially future pandemics. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in either academic tourism or works in the field as a tourism practitioner.” —Dr. Peter Tarlow, Texas A&M University, USA “A must-read book that digs into the current knowledge to travel to the future with very interesting insights and ideas to make the reader think! This book is not focusing on building back after COVID-19, but on building forward, discussing the current and future issues of the tourism industry.” —Dr. Sergio Moreno Gil, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canarias, Spain “Certainly, one of the best books of the last decade, dealing simultaneously and remarkably with both classic (e.g. leisure) and current (Covid pandemic) topics in tourism studies, providing an integrated, well-done, and enlightening approach to the field. More than just an academic book, this is also a must-read for tourism professionals and anyone interested in learning about and/or working with the tourism industry of now and into the future.” —Thiago Duarte Pimentel, International Association of Scientific Experts in Tourism, Brazil “An excellent contribution of normalized societies in the enjoyment through consumption where the politics of perversion, the logic of waste, and the banalization of the good constitute the axis of the political economy of morality . . . A valuable theoretical and epistemological contribution. It redefines hospitality, leisure, and tourism from the ‘heat of classic traces’ that is inscribed in the current scenario with the redefinition of proximity and distance. The book illuminates the future of an activity beyond rest, vacations, recreation, and conspicuous consumption.” —Adrian Scribano, National Scientific and Technical Research Council, CONICET, Argentina This book focuses on the tourism industry in conjunction with the impact of COVID-19 from the perspective that it is both negatively impacting the industry while also offering it an opportunity to rise from the ashes. The volume offers a new conceptualization and theorization of tourism; suggests new research methods, offers parallels with other crises (such as 9-11) to better understand the current one, and suggests futurist and innovative strategies.

Despite the fact that the book brought together 41 different authors (with very different writing styles), AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “As the author of a two-volume book on nanotechnologies, I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press. They provided me with regular and useful information and updates throughout the publishing procedure. I am also very happy with the final product, which is of good quality. The books are now available and are professionally distributed through the various channels. I would like again to thank the team at AAP for all their hard work and support.” —David Schmool, PhD, Director, Groupe d’Etude de la Matière Condensée GEMaC, National Centre for Scientific Research, Université de Versailles/Saint-Quentin, Université Paris-Saclay,Versailles, France AAP book title plus many others: Physiology of Molluscs (2-volume set) “Since my first recent association, I have enjoyed the full benefit of support, encouragement, and kindness from the members of AAP I have had the pleasure of being associated with. In the same vein, I hope AAP was satisfied with the book series I have edited in advancing the knowledge. It has been a great journey and was a great pleasure and satisfaction. Advancing scholarship through publications is one of the best routes publishers can take, and I would hold AAP as one of the best ones.” —Saber Saleuddin, PhD, University Professor Emeritus, Department of Biology, York University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada AAP book title plus many others: Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology: Biological, Pharmaceutical, and Macromolecular Systems “It had been my pleasure to work with the production team of Apple Academic Press for almost a decade.

Ameta, Professor of Eminence (Distinguished Professor), Faculty of Science, PAHER University, UDAIPUR, India AAP book title: New Frontiers in Nanochemistry, 3-volume set, plus many others "Publishing a book, either as author or editor, is a journey from the initial vibration to the piece of knowledge towards the present future of humanity at large. Such a journey is about climbing and tunneling, about diving and driving through, about inspiration and tuning, about hard working in every instance; and it is also about time. Very few Global Publishers have the wisdom and patience and kindness and openness to authors, contributors, and readers while being truly crafting oriented as Apple Academic; yet all is about people and their education, vision and assumed mission; the Apple Academic Team heartily succeed that in achieving the world class scholarly acclaim by the quality involvement in all chain of plus value added with each publishing event.
