The SAGE Handbook of Tourism Studies

This is the strongest overview I have encountered of the scope and the current state of research across all the fields involved in advancing our understanding of tourism. For its range of topics, depth of analyses, and distinction of its contributors, nothing is comparable. It will be greeted enthusiastically as an indispensable reference source. -- Professor Dean MacCannell
The breadth of vision and sweep of accounts is remarkable, and range of topics laudable... a rare combination of the authoritative, the challenging and stimulating. -- Professor Mike Crang
The SAGE Handbook of Tourism Studies is a really useful and helpful book that gives a comprehensive and thorough overview of all aspects of tourism studies. The book is addressed to a wide range of people, including students, academics and professionals in tourism. It could be used either as a textbook or as an indispensable source of references… a valuable acquisition to the tourism section of any library. -- Miroslava Dimitrova
This book was a little heavy for the level 3 students I teach. Many of them found it difficult to understand, however I found it useful for lesson planning. -- Miss Rebecca Easterby * drupal *
A comprehensive overview that provides a useful access to the subject. -- Miss Rebecca Wilcox * drupal *
The book is well-structured and useful reference for tourism professionals, academics and researchers. It is really valuable as a supplemental book as it provides many references to previous research papers. The level of the book, however, is more suitable for learners at Level 5 and above and particularly those interested in doing any kind of research. -- Mr Nikola Naumov * drupal *
While well written and acessible, the approach is a little too basic for University level study. -- Mr Tony Ozell * drupal *
I believe that this book should be in all Libraries wherein a Tourism Studies course is offered. -- Mr Vincent Zammit * drupal *
Although the text is extremely comprehensive and covers a wide range of relevant trends and topics within the industry it would be more suitable for the final year of an Honours Degree or indeed courses at Postgraduate level. -- Ms Luane Quigley * drupal *
Fantastic resource for my postgraduate students. This book has exposed my students to some of the key thinkers and concepts within Tourism Studies...a go-to resource! -- Ms Rukeya Suleman * drupal *
I find this a quite comprehensive overview of the field, and I recommend my students to look this up if they are curious about the background of some of the topics that we discuss in class.

It is more applicable to those students who plan to continue their course in tourism as an academic field, or in a research capacity. -- Ms Tina Tiller * drupal *
