Strategies for Promoting Sustainable Hospitality and Tourism Services (Advances in Hospitality, Tourism, and the Services Industry)

Tourism marketing is a vital tool in promoting the overall health of the global economy. This brings necessary revenue to particular regions of the world that have limited revenue producing resources and provides an opportunity for tourists to explore another culture, therefore building tolerance and overall exposure to different ways of life. Strategies for Promoting Sustainable Hospitality and Tourism Services is a crucial scholarly source that discusses interdisciplinary perspectives in the areas of global tourism and highlights cultural boundaries of strategic knowledge management through case studies. Featuring research on topics such as consumer behavior, cultural appreciation, and global economics, this book is ideally designed for academicians, research scholars, marketing professionals, graduate-level students, and industry professionals.
