Hospitality and Travel Marketing

The fifth edition of Hospitality and Travel Marketing breaks new ground in this field by offering an insightful outlook on the latest marketing thinking for the post-COVID era, including new approaches to social marketing and sustainable development. This book will be of interest to students, practitioners and researchers in hospitality and tourism seeking a fresh approach grounded in the latest scholarly knowledge as well as best practices globally. Crucially, the book's proven systems-based approach to marketing will give practitioners and scholars alike an opportunity to reflect on the wider and longer-term consequences of their decision-making. This is particularly important at a stage when our world faces a great deal of uncertainty at different levels . Dr. J. Andres Coca-Stefaniak, Professor of Tourism, Events and Sustainability, Greenwich Business School, University of Greenwich, London, UK. Hospitality and Travel Marketing, Fifth Edition is an essential resource for learners and destination marketers. When I developed a new Destination Management and Marketing course for undergraduate learners at Royal Roads University, Dr. Alastair M. Morrison was exceptionally responsive and supportive in providing guidance and resources which became foundational and essential throughout the course. The new Fifth Edition provides greater insights into critical tourism sustainability concepts and practices . Ray Freeman, Royal Roads University (2011-2020), Principal Consultant and CEO of Left Coast Insights Ltd., British Columbia, Canada. The refreshed Hospitality and Travel Marketing is a much-needed new textbook focusing on the recent trends and issues in the industry post-COVID. Having used this book myself, I greatly appreciate its systematic structure and flow. Professor Morrison has used his extensive global experience in crafting a truly useful and accessible book that is full of great examples and new features. Just like my own students, readers will enjoy the engaging style of writing and the contemporary hospitality and travel marketing cases and applications. The consumer-oriented approach is refreshing, as is the emphasis on social responsibility in marketing and e-marketing. Everyone with a serious interest in hospitality and travel marketing should get a copy and study this text carefully . Professor Dae-Young Kim, Professor of Hospitality Management, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri, USA. The new textbook by Professor Morrison is an important tool for future travel, tourism, and hospitality leaders to be prepared for a world post-COVID-19 pandemic. Travel and tourism have completely changed, and previous textbooks are for the most part obsolete. This new edition unpacks critical issues such as COVID-19, social responsibility, climate change, social commerce, and many others. Not only do I fully endorse this textbook and congratulate the author, but I view this edition as an important part of any tourism marketing course, and an addition to any tourism and hospitality marketer's library.
