Comprehensive Foundations of Tourism

Comprehensive Foundations of Tourism: Places, People, Processes, Four Volume Set provides a comprehensive review of general themes in tourism and specific precepts within those themes. Individual chapter authors bring their expertise to the collection, creating a literature-rich, conceptually sound, and empirically strong introductory description and analysis of 200+ topics affecting, and affected by, the tourism industry. This is an authoritative work on the social science and business of tourism, which offers a foundational resource for students and researchers. The volumes provide an in-depth analysis of the tourism industry and its functions, outcomes, and effects in an elementary fashion so that it is accessible both to undergraduate students and post-graduate students, as well as tourism practitioners. For students, this work offers a more holistic understanding of tourism and gives a foundation to build upon with your own research and classroom learning.
