Editorial: Tourism futures researchers of inspiration

Abstract

I have been a tourism futures researcher for the last 25 years, starting as the Scenario Planner at VisitScotland (Yeoman and McMahon-Beattie, 2005) and now as a Professor of Disruption, Innovation and New Phenomena at NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences. So in this issue, we celebrate some of the writers who have inspired that journey, those that helped me and those that have developed into tourism futureswriters through their publications in the Journal of Tourism Futures.
