Description
'In Search of Hospitality' is a unique contribution to the study of hospitality, exploring the practice of hospitality across disciplines,
and adopting an international perspective where appropriate.
This title brings together an extraordinary collection of leading researches
and writers in hospitality, sociology, philosophy and social history, thereby providing a broad and comprehensive perspective on hospitality.
It focuses the study of hospitality across the range of human, social and economic settings, and provides a reference point for the future
development of hospitality as an academic discipline.
Harnessing this wide range of viewpoints, 'In Search of Hospitality' offers an
intellectually stimulating and innovative approach to the study of hospitality. It is ideal for students and academics within both the
applied fields of hospitality and tourism studies and the general fields of business studies and behaviour sciences. It is also suitable
for practitioners in hospitality, leisure and tourism businesses, for whom it provides a provocative and informative guide to understanding
and providing hospitality within a commercial context.

Hospitality, leisure and tourism lecturers and academics undertaking research in hospitality.
Undergraduate, postgraduate and MBS students
of hospitality and tourism degrees.
