Book excerpt: Tourism, the world's largest industry, continues to grow worldwide. With this growth comes a wealth of opportunities and challenges. In their third edition, Cook, Yale, and Marqua invite you to join them in exploring the many changes that are shaping the future of this exciting industry. Too often, tourism texts have been dry and/or overly focused on travel agencies and transportation modes. Often they are full of facts with little theoretical or macro-issue discussion. As a result, students' enthusiasm soon wanes and their interest in a career in "tourism" diminishes. Through their extensive experiences, Cook, Yale, and Marqua have captured the diverse nature and excitement of this dynamic industry. The third edition of "Tourism: The Business of Travel" retains the conversational style that made the first two editions successful. But many changes have taken place in the tourism industry. The third edition provides a through overview of the tourism industry and highlights the revolutionary impacts of technological changes on every segment of the industry. As the title suggests, tourism is viewed through the lens of business, focusing on the management, marketing, and financial issues most important to industry members. In addition, the text begins with a comprehensive model of tourism and the book unfolds by considering each piece of the model in succession. All students should find the text enjoyable and educational no matter which part of the industry they find most interesting. The authors designed this book so that it engages students in the learning experience. Its appealing writing style and its hundreds of current industry examples make it the perfect text for students taking their first tourism class as well as anyone who wants to know more about the inner workings of this exciting industry. Based on popular demand, a variety of readings, exercises, and cases have been added to the third edition to augment the expanded content, providing students with even more opportunities to apply their knowledge. Special Features - An integrated model of tourism links all pieces of this multifaceted industry together. - Expanded discussion of the consumer behavior issues of tourism including decision-making and consumer motivations. - Enhanced discussion of the importance of tours, tour operators and meeting planners, and incentive travelers. - Expanded sections on human resources and personal selling. - Special attention is given to the Internet and its impact on the tourism industry. - An added stand-alone appendix on geography. - An expanded exploration of economic analysis and marketing research in a stand-alone appendix. - Ethical/critical thinking dilemmas to generate student discussion. - FYI boxed items providing helpful travel tips and consumer information. - Tourism-In-Action items provide students with in-depth industry examples of chapter content. - Service Quality is accentuated with a complete chapter early in the textbook. - Macro-issues such as social, economic and environmental impacts are highlighted. - All new easy to integrative cases plus end-of-chapter readings and appendices give instructors added opportunities to generate student debate and interest. A complete instructor's supplemental package including a website allows instructors to customize the course to fit their students' needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The strongest overview I have encountered of the scope and the current state of research across all the fields involved in advancing our understanding of tourism. For its range of topics, depth of analyses, and distinction of its contributors, nothing is comparable." - Professor Dean MacCannell, University of California, Davis "The breadth of vision and sweep of accounts is remarkable, and range of topics laudable... a rare combination of the authoritative, the challenging and stimulating." - Professor Mike Crang, Durham University Tourism studies developed as a sub-branch of older disciplines in the social sciences, such as anthropology, sociology and economics, and newer applied fields of study in hospitality management, civil rights and transport studies. This Handbook is a sign of the maturity of the field. It provides an essential resource for teachers and students to determine the roots, key issues and agenda of tourism studies, exploring: The evolution and position of tourism studies The relationship of tourism to culture The ecology and economics of tourism Special events and destination management Methodologies of study Tourism and transport Tourism and heritage Tourism and postcolonialism Global tourist business operations Ranging from local to global issues, and from questions of management to the ethical dilemmas of tourism, this is a comprehensive, critically informed, constructively organized overview of the field. It draws together an inter-disciplinary group of contributors who are among the most celebrated names in the field and will be quickly recognized as a landmark in the new and expanding field of tourism studies.
