The title of this book creates high expectations, being interpreted alternatively as providing a vision for the 2020s or reflecting unclouded, penetrating insights, possibly both. It is taken from the name of the bi‐annual meeting of the International Academy for the Study of Tourism (IAST) that met in Mallorca, Spain, in June 2009, from which most papers are derived. The editors are widely‐published academics, as are the authors of all of the chapters. They constitute a group of experienced tourism researchers, from a diversity of disciplines, who have paid their dues and are members of an exclusive international organization of scholars. The book contains the contributions of eighteen authors, almost all of whom are luminaries of tourism research, with the result that the voices of young scholars and non‐academics are mute, if not absent. Most authors originally explored tourism from a base within a social science discipline and still work from such a base, although some or now housed in tourism programs or are technically retired.The book consists of eighteen chapters, including an introduction and conclusion. The introduction introduces IAST and relates the organization's brief history and post‐conference publications to narrate a concise history of tourism research and to introduce the structure and contents of the current volume. The work is divided into four main sections:
