It ensures they have all they need to fully understand economic issues in the context of the industries they study. It explains the theories from first principles and applies them to a range of specific leisure and tourism issues, at the consumer, business, national and international level. The layout has been improved with visual maps of chapter contents, objectives and end-of-chapter summaries to help students engage with the subject material. Economics is a core part of these courses, which continue to attract increasing numbers of students each year.
