This concluding chapter outlines some of the main contributions of the book and provide some potential directions for future research. It does this in the context of the response to COVID-19 and the history of previous challenges to growthism in tourism and broader economic thinking. The chapter highlights that the vulnerabilities, including in relation to global environmental change and global heating, are not necessarily new and that the need for degrowth type responses in various forms has been established for more than 50 years. Unfortunately, the key problem is as much one of political will and the embeddedness of narrow corporate interests in paradigmatic thinking, including tourism studies, rather than potential solutions.
