Abstract "Tourism Management: Managing for Change is a complete synthesis of tourism, from its beginnings through to the major impacts it has on today's global society, the environment and economy. Provocative and stimulating, it challenges the conventional thinking and generates reflection, thought and debate. Now in full colour, this bestselling book is now in its third edition and has been fully revised and updated to include a complete set of brand new case studies and online companion resources packed with must have information to assist in learning and teaching." "In a user-friendly, handbook style, each chapter covers the material required for at least one lecture within a degree level course. Written in a jargon-free and engaging style, this is the ultimate student-friendly text, and a vital introduction to this exciting, ever-changing area of study."--Jacket.
