Description: My aim in this book is to offer an introduction to tourism that will be accessible and interesting for those who are unfamiliar with the subject. It is not designed as a training manual for students contemplating a career in tourism and hospitality, although it is written in the conviction that those who do enter such careers need to have a broad understanding of tourism's multidimensional character and its increasingly important place in society."--Pub. desc.
