Editorial Reviews

Review

The 'Developement and Management of Visitor Attractions' serves as essential reading for any student or practitioner of visitor attractions ... it is well written, suitably organised and presents a structure upon which teachers of visitor attractions can plan and organise their programs. It is interesting to read, provides a good range of contemporary examples and is clear in its mission. This book still remains the definitive publication of its sort and the catalyst for futher study in this field.
