Rezensionen

'David Edgell has a distinct perspective on tourism. Not only does he recognize the need for sustainability in tourism initiatives, but he also understands the practical side of tourism and its contributions to economic and community development. He is both an academic and a practitioner - a unique combination that makes his work required for the professional in business and government. Managing Sustainable Tourism is a valuable guide for the future.'

Dr Karla Hughes, Chancellor, University of Arkansas at Monticello, USA

'Managing Sustainable Tourism is a must read for educators, students, tourism strategists, policy makers, planners, developers, entrepreneurs, and investors. This third edition explores critical issues and trends impacting tourism, the world's largest industry, while concurrently examining global challenges and opportunities. Through case studies, policy analysis, and management practices, Dr. David Edgell provides multifaceted approaches to managing sustainable tourism that brilliantly bridge theory and practice'

Louis D'Amore, Founder and President of the International Institute for Peace through Tourism (IIPT)

'In today's continually evolving tourism sector, it goes without saying that "Tourism Means Jobs!" and that the industry is a major contributor to the gross domestic product of the countries of the world. In this third edition of his book, Dr. Edgell continues to drive home the fact that sustainable tourism "must be" the foundation of every tourism initiative undertaken.'

Toney Watkins, Chairman, President and CEO, The Toney Watkins Company

'The third edition continues to build on the foundation laid in the first two editions of this book as well as Dr. Edgell's extensive body of tourism policy and planning work. The book contributes to the work of many scholars and practitioners who are trying to make communities throughout the world a better place in which to live and to visit for present and future generations.'

Jason Swanson, Director of Undergraduate Studies, Department of Retailing and Tourism Management, University of Kentucky, USA

'I have had the honor of working with Dr Edgell for the bulk of my career to deliver pioneering and innovative data driven marketing solutions to tourism destinations. Notable efforts included presenting sustainable tourism use cases to the Caribbean Tourism Organization, Kansas Tourism Inquiry data warehouse, and leading-edge use of customs data to rebuild visitation for hurricane ravaged USVI that resulted in significant economic impact and earned us honorary citizen awards. I highly recommend this book and assure you the value you receive will be returned in multiples. I can never repay the debts I owe my mentor Dr. Edgell, he is truly the tourism industry's renaissance man.'
