Features: This is a highly valuable book. Due to the author's deep understanding of travel and the research subjects of tourism studies, compared to some general introductory books readers may have encountered, it is evident that the framework constructed in this book differs significantly from others. The perspectives presented by the author not only reflect his innovative understanding and insights but also demonstrate a comprehensive and coordinated approach in innovation. Therefore, the book reflects the author's pursuit of harmony in the establishment of arguments, definition of concepts, elaboration of theories, and overall structural arrangement.
After the publication of the edition of Fundamentals of Tourism, it has gained recognition in the tourism academic community. More than ten universities have adopted it as a professional textbook for postgraduate entrance exams in tourism management, and many undergraduate institutions also use it as a teaching material. To significantly revise the content of the edition, not only was the text polished but also a large number of vivid case materials and various innovative and practical new sections were added, nearly doubling the word count.
After this revision, the content of Fundamentals of Tourism has become more comprehensive, the theories more systematic, the perspectives clearer, and the knowledge more up-to-date, with even more fluent writing. It is hoped that the author's efforts will allow readers to better appreciate the charm of the tourism discipline during the reading process and teachers to enhance their teaching effectiveness.
During the writing process, the book strives to comprehensively organize and refine the basic concepts and theories of tourism studies, emphasizing the absorption of the latest research findings from both domestic and international sources. Therefore, the book can also serve as a reference for researchers in tourism management and related fields.
