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

Exploring the Hospitality Industry, 4th edition is also available via Revel™, an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience. Learn more.
