Economics of Leisure and Tourism by John Tribe
The Economics of Leisure and Tourism tackles issues that will affect the sector into the next century including globalization, virtual leisure, and the grey and green revolutions. Essentially a real world text in applied economics, it explains the necessary economic theories from first principles and applies them to a range of leisure and tourism problems and issues at the consumer, business, national and international level. Areas covered include: consumers, suppliers and markets; reasons for market intervention; analysis of the operation environment; market strategies; economic impacts; environmental issues; strategies for green leisure and tourism provision. The text is international in its outlook, taking examples from Brazil, China, India and Japan, as well as Europe and the USA, to illustrate multinational provision, tourism and leisure as strategies for economic development, and emerging markets. It also contains features designed for ease of student use such as: visual mapping of chapter contents; chapter objectives; diagrams, data and news cuttings; summaries of key points; short answer questions; case studies.
Review of first edition'The book is the only one of its kind which is essential to students of the economic or business aspects of the tourism and leisure industries in the UK. It adeptly places tourism and leisure into the wider economic framework within which they have to operate and explains even the more complex economic functions to a non-economist with admirable clarity.' Tourism, April 1996
