This book on winter tourism consists of three parts. Part I is addressed to current challenges in winter tourism including regional planning, socio-cultural conditions, climate change and economic challenges. Part II gives an overview of behavioural research in winter tourism. The authors present case studies and methodological concepts for both understanding the preferences and behavioural intentions of current guests as well as the needs and requirements of potential guests in the future. Of high relevance in this context are also the trade-offs between the different attributes of ski resorts and destinations. Part III discusses opportunities for future winter tourism development considering and implementing sustainable development goals. The presented solutions include national concepts as well as solutions for single aspects such as social conflicts, safety or landscape beauty. The book has 36 chapters and a subject index.
