It includes not only theoretical and management perspectives on various topics, but also reflective questions that stimulate readers' critical thinking on the issues. The well-written and easily accessible contents allow readers to use the acquired knowledge easily and readily in the implementation of sustainable tourism policies across various contexts.'
