Description
As the global tourism industry continues to expand and to become more complex, it is vital that those in the industry are equipped with
a thorough knowledge of all topics involved. New Tourism Consumers Products and Industry: Present and Future Issues provides this comprehensive
coverage and more. Written by a team of globally renowned thinkers and researchers, it not only provides a brief historical overview
of tourism, but delves deeper, to discuss emerging trends, consumer types and looks at the way the industry itself is changing and developing.
It provides the manager of tomorrow with the ability to look beyond normal planning horizons and identify potential opportunities from
these changes.
New Tourism Consumers Products and Industry: Present and Future Issues is part of a two part set with its companion
text, Tourism Dynamics, Challenges and Tools: Present and Future Issues which takes the reader on a logical progression to look at issues
relating to the external environment in which the tourism industry functions. Both texts thereby provide the reader with a complete
set of tools and knowledge recognise the key areas of growth and change, and the ability to use the new tools and technologies available
to develop them and maximise business potential.
Audience
Level 3 and postgraduate degree courses in tourism. Senior university level synthesis courses which are commonly provided as core or
elective class in most specialised tourism programmes and first year introductory graduate classes. Libraries and industry practitioners.
