In Principles of Tourism: A New Zealand Perspective, 7th edition, the emphasis is on New Zealand tourism, while principles of tourism activity and management as they apply internationally are also discussed. The content of the new edition has been brought up to date to reflect recent changes within the tourism industry, and the text gives the reader an overall view of the tourism industry at both the international and the national level. Originally designed for those studying the course 'Principles of Tourism' for the New Zealand Diploma in Business, the book has been further developed into a comprehensive text for students of the National Diploma in Tourism. It has also proved to be a valuable resource for other diploma courses in tourism as well as for first-year degree studies and for practitioners in the industry.
