Research Methods for Leisure and Tourism is a comprehensive and clearly written guide to practical research in leisure and tourism. Since publication of the first edition, the book has become the standard reference in the field. It is aimed at students who are undertaking academic research as well as practising managers who use research as part of management or policy in the leisure and tourism industries.
