The Road to Tourism will help your students to gain valuable insights into this industry and the requirements of its profession by providing a highly readable and relevant introduction to Tourism to help them begin and progress in their careers.It achieves this by introducing students to the tourism industry today, the magnitude of working with colleagues and customers, the issue of communication (plus conflict resolution) and the cross-cultural aspect of Tourism, along with office duties they may perform, occupational health and safety guidelines they need to be aware of and product and services knowledge required.
