A very international group of authors deliver a contemporary view of teaching and learning in tourism ranging from technology, through experiential learning, to internationalization and the future. This book sets a benchmark in the field and the editors are to be congratulated for their vision in creating this Handbook.' --Chris Cooper, Oxford Brookes University, UK'What are policy-makers and educators to do in our runaway world where students, technologies, skills, knowledge, mobilities and expectations are all changing fast? With its emphasis on teaching and learning, this book provides a unique contribution to the field. Pierre Benckendorff and Anita Zehrer have assembled a fine collection of contributions that help us to frame, understand and respond to the key issues.
