About this book

Modern Advances in Tourism Research provides a thorough assessment of state-of-the-art academic research in this recent field of economic science. The authors start by scoping the scene of tourism research, evolving then to a comprehensive analysis of themes of particular interest for researchers and academics interested on the workings of the tourism markets, such as new analysis frameworks in tourism economics and new operational tools in tourism research. With a view to go beyond fundamental research, the book closes with a chapter dedicated to applied country and regional studies, where a variety of subjects – from input-output analysis to e-tourism competitiveness – are analysed from an alternative micro-perspective.

Reviews

From the reviews: “The book focuses on ‘modern’ advances, particularly those in tourism, and it targets readers with an interest in economic perspectives. … A comprehensive book on advances in modern tourism research economic perspectives offers relevant evidence and numerous perspectives. … Because the book offers a targeted analysis of different contributions at a particular conference, it also opens avenues for new research topics in the future. … the book is recommended because it will stimulate researchers and new research projects in tourism.” (Ossi Pesämaa, Papers in Regional Science, Vol. 88 (1), March, 2009)
