The package tour is still a key component of the tourism sector, but recently, these packages have changed from the traditional “sand, sun, and sea” to a shift in composition involving a myriad of niche products. With a focus on the creation and distribution of packaged holidays, this text covers the fundamentals of business and the relationship between the operators and destinations, with particular reference to the sustainability of both parties. International cases studies are included throughout.
“I am very, very impressed….the content flows beautifully and is therefore very easy to keep up with. The authors introduce, discuss and develop the main points with great clarity and consistently good supporting examples….this is a ‘must have’ text.” — Dr. Paul Fallon, Senior Lecturer in Tourism, Hospitality and Events, University of Central Lancashire
