摘要：
Purpose - As the Journal of Tourism Futures celebrates its 10th Anniversary, Dr Ian Yeoman (Hotel Management School Leeuwarden) interviews Leslie Vella (Malta Tourism Authority) about the future of tourism in Malta, drawing upon a series of scenarios as a reflective learning tool. Design/methodology/approach - A personal interview. Findings - The interview discusses the future of tourism in Malta raising issues and reflections, through four scenarios that portray the Mediterranean island: Scenario 1: A Regenerative Future - Reposition, Realignment and Refocus (Transformation), Scenario 2: A Sustainable Pathway - Adaption and Innovative Growth (Growth), Scenario 3: Europe's Second Class - Second Choice Destination (Stagnation) and Scenario 4: No Tourism (Collapse). Originality/value - Upon critical reflection, scenarios can be seen as a powerful learning device to frame, surface and discuss issues associated with tourism, in this case in Malta.
