Tourism Economics

Bahar and Kozak, for whom no background information is given, provide an overview of the components of tourism and the effects and economics of tourism from local, regional, national, and international perspectives. Topics include basic concepts of economics and tourism, the properties of tourism supply and demand, and tourism and international competitiveness. Chapters include discussion questions and references. Grammatical errors appear throughout the book and much of the information presented appears to be rather basic and, in some instances, vague.
