Summary: Examines the lodging sector from a tourism perspective. The book highlights the importance of the lodging sector in tourism as a major income generator and essential part of the travel experience.

The issues, concepts and management concerns facing this industry are examined, highlighting important topics such as:the place of accommodations in tourism and vice versa; the social, ecological and economic implications of lodging development; management and restructuring issues in a globalizing industry; sustainable tourism and the accommodation sector; cross-sectoral linkages between lodging, food services, gaming, conferences, and other intermediaries; the interaction between supply and demand; safety and security in tourism and lodging. Critically examines a wide range of lodging establishments from an industry and social science perspective, drawing parallels and distinctions between the various types of accommodation, from campgrounds for the cost-conscious or adventurous outdoor traveler, to luxury, 5-star resorts, and more innovative accommodation such as tree-house hotels and ecolodges.
