Critical Acclaim
‘Discussions on how well-being, quality of life, happiness and life satisfaction relate to one another are very topical everywhere. The way tourism is linked to people's well-being and quality of life has been studied for years, but so far no book has been published on the subject as comprehensive, systematic and engaging as this one. A much-needed publication for tourism professionals, teachers and students!’
