Features: A collection of premium tourism management teaching materials. This book consistently adopts an economic theory perspective to study tourism activities, integrating "economic theory" and "tourism activities" seamlessly without any trace of "mechanical transplantation." The author structures the content of the book according to the framework of micro- and macroeconomic theories, dividing it into two main parts: the first half primarily examines tourism economic activities from a microeconomic perspective, while the second half focuses on the role of tourism in the national economy from a macroeconomic perspective. The book is well-organized, with in-depth discussions, and seeks case studies worldwide to support its arguments. Additionally, the appendix provides supplementary explanations for some of the main text's issues, making it highly suitable for teaching purposes.
