This chapter outlines the nexus between tourism innovation and sustainable development goals. It advocates building strong links between science and tourism through increased use of disaggregated data at national and destination levels for understanding and highlighting the specific contributions that tourism and hospitality make towards economic growth, employment and other sustainable development indicators. New research methodologies such as big data analytics, citizen science and cultural ecosystem services allow improved access to and collection of data and better analyses of the complex interactions between economic, environmental and social dimensions of sustainable development at the destination level. Three cases chosen from UNESCO designated World Heritage sites and biosphere reserves are briefly described to illustrate opportunities for tourism and hospitality to collaborate with other economic development sectors and to strive for the attainment of destination-specific mix of SDGs. An international collaborative research program on tourism and sustainable development will be timely and three lines of inquiry that such a program of could pursue are recommended.

GDP growth forecast for 2024 is raised to 2.5% thanks to the good performance of external demand, the increase in the labor force, and the execution of Recovery Plan funds. However, it will moderate to 2.1% in 2025, largely due to constraints in tourism growth.
- Key points:
- Global growth will moderate in the coming quarters and recover in 2025. In the US, growth is revised upward for 2024, but a moderation remains likely. In the Eurozone, the cyclical recovery will gain momentum. In China, despite better data and stimulus, structural challenges will limit growth.
- The Spanish economy has performed better than expected three months ago, driven by services exports, improvements in competitiveness, labor force growth and Recovery Plan funds.
- The increase in interest rates has not been passed on proportionally to the cost of financing, and fiscal policy may be somewhat more expansionary than expected.
- External demand will be negative due to constraints in tourism. Investment in transport and housing faces short-term obstacles and domestic demand will be affected in 2025 by fiscal adjustment.
- All this in an environment of high uncertainty about the future of economic policy, both nationally and globally.

Over last years, the current growth of tourism flourished in a wealth of courses, Ph.Ds., Masters and academic offerings that positioned tourism as a good perspective for students. Jafar Jafari signaled to the term " scientifization of tourism " to explain the ever-increasing attention given to this new field (Jafari & Aeser, 1988; Jafari, 1990, 2005). At a first stage, the great volume of bibliographic production offered an encouraging prospect in the pathways towards the maturation of this discipline. However, some epistemologists have recently alerted that not only tourism-research failed to develop a unified consensus of what tourism is, but also lack of a coherent epistemology that helps organizing the produced material. In this respect, tourism is subject now to an atmosphere of " indiscipline " where the produced knowledge leads to scattered (limited) conclusions.

Tourism organizations and firms are continuously faced with a highly turbulent and competitive environment. To achieve a sustainable edge, institutions need to become flexible, efficient, agile and innovative. However, technological and economic forces have shifted the level of competition from the individual firm to whole supply chains.

Sustainable tourism development has attracted significant attention in many scientific studies particularly in tourism studies and has been one of the very fast growing areas of tourism studies research since the late 1980s. According to Buckley (2012) the spe-cific term 'sustainable tourism' was first used almost two decades ago.
