Abstract
Human mobility, global migration, minorities, and ethnic societies have increased significantly in the 21st century and these trends influence the tourism and hospitality industries. This book is a compendium of articles presented at an international scientific workshop held in Bolzano in 2010. It presents the industry's understanding of these issues with a range of examples in relation to ethnic groups and minority issues from several countries. It further introduces and discusses the term "new minorities" and related topics since it differs from the social/anthropological term "minorities". Finally the book argues that there is huge potential for further research on minorities and underlines how these influence to a great extent destination image, human resources management, management, and marketing opportunities in the tourism industry.
