Recenzii
“Tourism: A Modern Synthesis remains a critical undergraduate companion text, and this sixth edition reinforces that status. Page and Connell tackle post-pandemic recovery, AI, regenerative tourism, and the geopolitics of conflict with the same clarity and depth that have made earlier editions so dependable. As such, it continues to be essential reading for students at every stage of their studies.”
Dr Marcus Hansen, Senior Lecturer in Tourism and Events, Liverpool John Moores University, UK
"It is awe-inspiring how well Page and Connell encapsulate the entirety of the tourism sector in a single volume! This new edition of Tourism: A Modern Synthesis builds upon the foundations of excellence of the previous editions, providing expert, updated analyses of the most critical current trends and issues influencing global tourism today. This is, by far, the most comprehensive introductory tourism textbook on the market."
Prof. Dallen J. Timothy, Professor of Community Resources and Development, Arizona State University, USA
“Page and Connell's Tourism: A Modern Synthesis remains one of the few textbooks to bridge theoretical rigor and industry relevance. Its treatment of contemporary issues is standout: the platform economy, the growing anti-tourism movement in over-visited destinations, and the Sustainable Development Goals are addressed with scholarly care, equipping students with the conceptual tools to think critically rather than simply memorise. The updated case studies — particularly the expanded coverage of African and Asian markets — address a longstanding critique of Anglo-European bias in tourism pedagogy. As a core reference for undergraduate and postgraduate curricula, it remains a benchmark against which comparable texts are measured: comprehensive, current, and methodologically sound.
Prof. Rami K. Isaac, Associate Professor in Tourism Studies, Bethlehem University, Palestine
“This is an excellent text which makes a significant contribution to our understanding of tourism. The breadth of topics covered coupled with the use of many contemporary examples and cases makes this a superb book for all tourism students, academics and professionals.”
