PREFACE
Tourism economics has in the last 20 or 30 years rapidly established itself
as a distinct branch of knowledge. Its emergence and expansion is marked
by the increasing frequency with which universities and tertiary educational
institutions offer courses in tourism economics, the growing number of text
books available on this subject, the accelerating number of research articles
published in learned journals, and the fact that a successful international
journal, Tourism Economics, has been established.
As a consequence of these events, there has been a massive increase
in knowledge and information about tourism economics and considerable
advance has occurred in the methods and techniques employed by it. In
addition, new applications have emerged and several interesting and novel
case studies have been completed as well. One of the purposes of this hand-
book is to make this new knowledge available to readers in an easily acces-
sible and relatively comprehensive form. Consequently, this book provides
an up-to-date overview of tourism economics — its analytical methods and
techniques, its relevant theories and its applications. These are backed up
by illustrations. Fresh insights on tourism economics are provided by sev-
eral case studies. Contributors also put forward innovative ideas about this
subject and provide critical but constructive assessment of developments in
the field of tourism economics.

distinct subject, it nevertheless, remains more interdisciplinary in character
than mainstream economics. Thus, the subject matter of tourism economics
often includes consideration of institutional and psychological features not
given much consideration in mainstream economics. This is reflected in sev-
eral contributions in this book.
It is gratifying that experts from many countries and cultural back-
grounds have contributed to this book. This has made the preparation of
this handbook a truly global enterprise and has widened its perspectives.

cation of the book.
