Summary
The tourism industry is one of the most exciting, dynamic and challenging industries in Australia, and the world. It is because of this that tourism is able to offer career opportunities as dynamic as the industry itself.
The second edition of The Road to Tourism has been fully updated to reflect the many changes that have taken place in the last few years and offers a more balanced and real-world approach to learning.
