The book provides a valuable entry point to the English literature on Tourism and Hospitality marketing for students at our University in their second semester bachelor studies. The book is well laid out in terms of structure and provides easy-to-read chapters on core concepts.

I truly believe this book should be a key text for Hospitality and Tourism Students especially those following the Confederation of Tourism and Hospitality (CTH) Postgraduate Course. The book is loaded with world class Case Studies which makes bringing the real world to the classroom easier for lecturers. The author relates theory to practice in a very unique way through the case studies. Highly recommended!!!
