'The MENA Region is one of the most important and fragile areas of the planet, it is home to a plethora of important cultural, culinary and heritage sites and yet is also one of the most neglected in the tourism literature. The beauty and authenticity of the MENA region has been shadowed by political conflicts there and now the expertise provided by the authors of this book brings some justice and much-needed focus on the region and its beauty. A collection of well-qualified authors cover a wide range of important topics applied to tourism in a way that demonstrates the diversity and significance of the region, not only to the tourism industry but to humanity. This is a must read for anyone interested in tourism management.'
