ABSTRACT

This chapter reconnects to the books theoretical starting point: experience-based and transformational learning. We then synthesize the results from the chapters under four themes: from passive to active, from analogue to digital, from generic to target group–adapted and from fragmented to inclusive. Under each theme, we discuss prospects and limitations and suggest research avenues. As several of the chapters highlight the need to develop how learning experiences are created and organized, we encourage future research to address issues that can inform research and practice about 1) the role of the tourists in creating learning experiences, 2) the impacts of the digital transition, 3) the adaptation of tourism offers to tourists’ prior knowledge and preferences and 4) the role of collaboration.
