Marketing for Tourism provides an introduction to the theory of marketing and its application in the various sectors of the travel and tourism industry. This leading text has been fully revised and updated to take account of recent changes within this dynamic environment.

The fourth edition provides a wide international dimension, notably in the13 longer case studies at the end of the text. A brand new section shows full colour illustrations of recent advertising and promotional strategies. There is broad-ranging coverage of key issues such as branding, CRM, sustainability and the changing patterns of distribution in this fast-moving industry.

A strong pedagogical structure throughout the book includes learning objectives, mini cases, and end-of-chapter questions and issues for discussion.
