Tourism and the Lodging Sector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"This book takes a different perspective from many that address hospitality, in that it focuses substantially on the parallels of lodging and tourism and the financial impact they have on each other. It provides international perspectives on security, high tech, globalization, sustainability and more. While this book clearly is a resource for students, it makes interesting reading as it links the two topics of lodging and tourism. I have met the author, and he is enthusiastically committed to expanding a greater understanding of the impact of tourism. He has a sense of humor as well, dramatized by the last chapter which highlights novelty and alternative lodging examples"John Hogan CHA CHE MHS PhD
