"Anyone interested in tourism management will value this book because of its breadth and scope. If you are concerned with the heated issues of managing visitors and their impact as well as the future range of management problems that the tourism industry need to address, this is the book you cannot afford to miss." - Barry Mak, PhD, Associate Professor, School of Hotel and Tourism Management, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University "The newly revised 5th edition of Tourism Management is an excellent textbook, comprehensive and easy to read, that covers the fundamentals of tourism management issues with appropriate resources; much more than a general academic treatment of the topic of tourism management. It is a multi-purpose book, serving as classroom textbook, reference book, and business guidebook for practitioners and professionals in the field of tourism."- Muzaffer Uysal, Professor of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Virginia Tech, USA "Tourism Management' is an ideal text for students who are either embarking on tourism studies as a field of study or for students taking a one-off 'expedition' into tourism studies. Extensively updated with a more focused emphasis on sustainability, many additional case studies and an expanded global coverage this text certainly meets the needs of the contemporary student." - Bruce Prideaux, Professor, Marketing & Tourism , College of Business, Law & Governance, James Cook University, Australia
