Welcome to Tourism on Biz/ed Share
The support site for Tourism: A Modern Synthesis by Stephen Page, with information about the book and resources to aid study and teaching.
Tourism: A Modern Synthesis is a core introductory textbook for lecturers who are looking for an accessible and engaging text for their tourism students. It focuses on the development and management of tourism in a globalized context, synthesising the current academic and applied thinking on tourism with a focus on key principles. The strong business theme throughout the book reflects developments in the teaching and content of modern courses. It includes real-world 'Insights' focusing on contemporary themes and issues. It is concise enough to be used as a one-semester text, but its broad subject coverage makes it a useful resource for a one-year course or as a resource throughout a degree programme.
