Moving beyond just restaurants and hotels to cover all facets and segments of the industry, it includes new growth areas such as event management, meeting planning, cruising, theme parks, and gaming entertainment. The focus on sustainability features case studies on practitioners and corporations that engage and involve reads as they explore the trends in this ever-growing field." --Publisher's website.
