Exploring the Hospitality Industry fills a vital need: to broadly and dynamically cover the hospitality industry and hospitality management. More practical than theoretical, the text addresses the latest trends and careers across hospitality segments, from traditional realms of tourism, hotels and restaurants to growth areas such as event management.

You'll have ample opportunity to apply what you learn. Mini Case Studies will challenge you to respond to real-world scenarios, while Apply Your Knowledge quizzes gauge your grasp of chapter content as you go. Additionally, critical-thinking questions reinforce important concepts from the text.

The 4th Edition examines the latest careers, operations and management principles within each featured segment. Drawing on new learning outcomes, it analyzes the industry's newest developments and challenges, while refreshing content to reflect ever-evolving roles and practices.
