Description:
Tourism: A Modern Synthesis
is an accessible core textbook for tourism focusing on the development and management of
tourism in an international context. A strong business and management theme pervades the
book reflecting developments in the teaching and content of modern courses. The book is
based around the principles of management and includes case studies emphasising this
theme. It can be used as a one semester text, but its coverage of a broad range of
subjects make it a useful resource throughout the three years of a degree course.
Benefits:
• Concise
international case studies - drawn from all regions of the world - are integrated
throughout the text, widening the international appeal of the book and helping to
consolidate student knowledge
• Further readings
and questions sections are included in each chapter and provide a perfect framework for
tutorials and seminars
• Incorporates a full
glossary to assist the many students who struggle with some of the basic concepts and
'jargon' within tourism literature
• Includes chapters
on subjects often overlooked in tourism literature such as HRM, IT, Finance &
Investment
• The text is
co-written, not co-edited, thus ensuring consistency of style, format and focus of the
book
