TOURISM

Presents an overview of the management, marketing, and financial issues relevant to the tourist industry. Written in a simple style, the book first offers a history of tourism, and then covers the different segments of tourists, transportation, accommodation, food and beverages, entertainment, destinations, economic and political effects, environmental and social effects, and other issues. Appendices address problem solving, manners, and careers. Poor quality color photos with inane captions depict the Epcot Center, Butchart Gardens, cruise ship atriums, and the like.
