The book by Larry Dwyer, Peter Forsyth, and Wayne Dwyer is an introductory text on the economics of tourism suitable for undergraduate as well as postgraduate programs in economics and business administration. Additionally, the book serves as an excellent tool and resource for tourism professionals who wish to enhance their knowledge and also to see scientifically backed practices and information that they may have acquired empirically through their long-term experience in tourism.
However, the main anticipated benefit for readers is to become familiar with the policy suggestions of the book. Finally, in this book, the English terminology has often been kept alongside the Greek, so that the reader, in parallel with the knowledge they gain in tourism economics, can also enrich their understanding of international terminology.
