Recenzii

‘Now in its fifth edition, Tourism, Tourists and Society offers an ideal introductory text for those interested in the sociological issues of contemporary tourism. Richard Sharpley is to be commended for communicating complex sociological theories and concepts in an accessible and interesting way. The book is comprehensive, well-structured and full of thought-provoking examples.’ - John Tribe, University of Surrey, UK.
'An established part of the literature exploring the often contentious relationship between tourism activity and the societies involved in both being and hosting tourists, the new edition of Tourism, Tourists and Society acknowledges and debates the significant changes in global society and the consumption of tourism via the addition of new material on contemporary topics that are transforming the tourist experience.’ - Anna Leask, Edinburgh Napier University, UK.
