Tourism : principles and practice

Abstract

This new edition addresses the concept of tourism satellite accounts and CGE modelling, to reflect their growing role in the management and planning of tourism around the world. There are also chapters that explore the issues of events management and tourism crises and disaster management, the latter being particularly relevant in a world where the effects of matters such as global warming and conflict are known in many geographical regions. In an increasingly challenging and volatile business environment, and with the dynamics of social change facing the world, we offer readers fundamental and underlying principles to study the subject of tourism, within four distinct but related Parts: Tourism Demand, The Tourism Destination, The Tourism Sector and Marketing For Tourism. Chapters have all been updated to reflect the developments and changing signifcance of various aspects, such as the economic/environmental/socio-cultural impacts of tourism, climate change, and concerns for the safety and security of tourists.
