Confusing and Long
2 May 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
First, I would like to start by saying in the author's note inside the book she states she wrote her textbook so the everyday person could understand it and that she gets to the point. Not true, the book is very confusing to understand and the author drags out many parts unnecessarily. It was like pulling teeth to read this book. Tourism is an interesting subject and can be vividly illustrated and relatable, the author failed at this.
I do want to note that this is written by a woman in the U.K, which makes some wording a bit confusing to understand, but the content is just not there.
