Tourism is my favourite hobby. The book has shown me many ways about tourism. It has enlightened me about what should be the objectives of touring somewhere.

As someone with a diploma in Hospitality and Tourism Management, I found this book to be an insightful addition to the world of travel literature. It beautifully combines practical travel tips with cultural exploration, which resonates with my own approach to travel. At Tourlogues, we aim to create similar content by sharing unique travel experiences and hidden gems that make journeys memorable.

This definitely reads like a college textbook. I don't feel that I obtained much new information. On the contrary, there was a great deal of repetition of the same ideas and terms in each chapter. The whole text read like a bureaucratic manual, with context-shy redundancies and overly-cautious statements. There were too many lists, and the discussion questions at chapter endings were beyond abstract.

One of my reasons for getting the book was this version's updates about advertising with social media, but this section came near the end and took up only half a page. To be fair, however, I enjoyed the profiles of industry leaders like J. W. Marriott, and there were interesting editorials on "second life" virtual tourism and "dark" tourism.

Overall, it's a good starter text for a tourism student, but I felt it wasted my time and mislead me a little. I'd say a third of it is good, vital information that you should know.

Very thick book, for someone who is familiar with tourism business can be a bit boring.
