Media Reviews

David Bowie, Francis Buttle, Maureen Brookes and Anastasia Mariussen have delivered a hospitality marketing book that satisfies my 3Cs: it is complete, current, and comprehensive. The book has everything you need to know about the subject, it has lots of current examples and data, and it covers each topic very thoroughly. The book is well organized, contains several great `mini' case studies, and many thoughtful and useful reflection questions. - Dr. Chekitan S. Dev is a professor of marketing and branding at Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration and the author of Hospitality Branding (Cornell University Press, 2012).


Consumers are driving change in the hospitality industry and the structure of this book around the customer journey - pre-encounter, encounter and post-encounter - reflects this transformation and the marketing mix decisions to be made at the different stages of travel. In this updated version of the book, which incorporates further development of contemporary topics such as sustainability, digital marketing and innovative product design, the authors have really established this as the leading text for use in the teaching, learning and assessment of hospitality marketing. The inclusion of wide-ranging international case studies means that my students will really appreciate this book! - Professor Angela Roper is Chair and Director of the International Centre for Hotel and Resort Management at the University of West London.
