Customer Reviews:

how do you achieve the balance?.......2001-12-04

This book brings up the interesting issue of emotions and the workplace, a tricky balancing act. However, the unique approach to this issue presented here makes this a standout from "touchy-feely" HR/OB books. Scientific and sociological analysis plays a large role here, so this is recommended for those who prefer objectivity over subjectivity.

The leisure and tourism industry has tended to be even more dilatory, and so quality management was not given a high priority until recently. This book aims to develop an awareness of the underpinning theories of quality as applicable to leisure and tourism. It helps to comprehend the various dimensions of service quality along with the associated underpinning theory, facilitating and understanding of service, its characteristics and typology. Suitable for students and researchers, it shows how to evaluate critically the numerous quality management systems and techniques available within the context of the leisure and tourism business environment.

Customer Reviews:

Disappointed.......2000-05-27

Disappointed buying this book as 2/3 of this book is with tables, basic bor5ing pictures of for example place a coffee cup on a table. As a "training Outline" as described in the title it was too basic every school book will give a hospitality student better and more information and guideline. As a professional in the hospitality industry I thought of purchasing a tool for me to use.... So for experienced hospitality personal it is not the right book rather for someone who has no idea of the business and would like to get some information and help.

Book Description

Genuine ecotourism can have many positive impacts, particularly the conservation of biodiversity and cultural heritage and the creation of economic opportunities for local communities. While promoting these, it aims to eliminate negative impacts such as environmental degradation, cultural
commoditization and playground effects. Unfortunately, the concept is broadly misunderstood and its true definition widely debated. It is often used as a marketing tool, with some operators taking advantage of the ecotourism label to attract more business while behaving in environmentally
irresponsible ways. This book considers the important topic of quality control and accreditation in ecotourism, describing the mechanisms that can be implemented to ensure quality in all aspects of the industry, namely protected areas, businesses, products and tour guides.
