Classic Reviews in Tourism is a collection of papers by leading authors and thinkers in tourism. The reviews range from extensive literature surveys - economics, sociology, statistics, history, human resources and marketing - through to classic essays on gender, alternative tourism, urban and heritage tourism, environmental auditing and Auliana Poon’s ‘new tourism’. Each of the chapters is fully referenced with an up-to-date and comprehensive literature review.
Classic Reviews revisits original articles that appeared in the book series Progress in Tourism, Recreation and Hospitality Management - reviews that have stood the test of time and become oft-cited classics, but until now, out of print. The reviews have been revisited by their original authors and fully updated.
