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.
