"Tourism and hospitality, among the world's largest and fastest-growing industries, owe their expansion to rising incomes, improved transportation, low-cost airlines, and diversified market niches. Tourism, distinct from exploration, follows established paths and offers pleasure-seekers convenience and safety. The industry intersects with activities like pilgrimage, leading to categories like business, sports, and medical tourism. Hospitality, spanning restaurants, hotels, and more, is crucial for businesses, customers, employees, and economies. Hospitality managers prioritize excellent customer service, creating welcoming environments. Hotel management, a subset, involves overseeing daily operations, employee management, and strategy development. "Macro Perspectives of Tourism and Hospitality" serves as a foundational textbook, illuminating the interconnectedness of these industries and introducing essential concepts for students in tourism and hospitality courses." --Provided by the publisher
