Reviews

'A must-read introduction for all involved in tourism and leisure. John Tribe’s The Economics of Recreation, Leisure and Tourism is understandable, compelling and deeply informed; a brilliant synthesis of tourism and leisure and their wider economic framework. Now in its 6th edition, it has become a classic and will remain an easy guide to one of the main industries of contemporary times for many years to come.' Tanja Mihalič, Professor of Tourism, School of Economics and Business, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. 'The new edition of The Economics of Recreation, Leisure and Tourism maintains its original features with updated cases and examples. The author has once again done a great job in communicating the complex economic theories and concepts in an accessible language, which makes it a must-read text for both undergraduate and postgraduate students studying recreation, leisure and tourism related programmes.' Haiyan Song, Chair Professor of Tourism, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
