Review
Approximately 38 cases from the tourism industry examined in depth
Review
"The cases are sufficiently broad in covering the tourism industries: airlines, tour operators, publishers, associations, destinations, NGOs, tourism ministries, attractions, hotels, cruise lines, specialty tourism, education/training, timeshares, and others.
...most instructors will find some cases in the book to enliven the classroom experience for early undergraduate students."
