Title:	INTERNATIONAL HANDBOOK ON THE economics of Tourism
Authors:	Larry Dwyer, Peter Forsyth
Keywords:	Tourism
Issue Date:	2006
Publisher:	Edward Elgar
Description:	There is a large literature on tourism economics and so one is entitled to ask: ‘why another publication?’. The answer is that there has been a need for a book which provides readers with ‘state of the art thinking’ on the major topics of tourism economics. To this end we invited leading tourism economists to contribute to the volume. For each topic we asked the authors to address the following issues: importance of topic; overview of main contributions/themes; critical evaluation of existing literature; state of art thinking on the topic; issues for further research (conceptual and applied). Our aim has been to produce a volume that will be regarded as reflecting ‘leading edge’ thinking on major topics of tourism economics, by highly reputed scholars. This aim has been achieved. We would expect the book’s contents to be widely referenced in the journal literature over the coming years, and ‘required reading’ for instructors and students of tourism economics, internationally
