Robinson (leisure industries, U. of Wolverhampton, UK), Lück (tourism & events, Auckland U. of Technology, New Zealand), and Smith (tourism, geography and environmental management, U. of Waterloo, Canada) present this textbook on tourism from an economic and systems perspective. The book is divided into sections considering perspectives on tourism, the people involved in the industry, consumption, management, and development of tourism, and finally ending with a reflection on the future of the phenomenon. The layout is visually appealing, with hierarchical headings and bullet points, horizontal rules, colored text boxes, and subtle changes in font size helping to guide the flow of information.
