Consumer Behaviour in Tourism’ is described as a ‘concise overview’ providing an introductory text from an international perspective. It aims to highlight topical issues, latest research findings and to link theory to practice. It achieves the latter by providing several detailed case studies. The authors (or their publishers) aim the text at students, lecturers and practitioners. It was only here after reading the text that I would beg to differ. This certainly is a welcome text, as much of the literature regarding consumer behaviour is more general. I feel sure that those reading this review would agree that the numerous unique attributes of tourism make for some rather more complex aspects of consumer behaviour than would be found in other spheres of life. However, it is students who will find this book most welcome and then perhaps their lecturers. In my view, this text is clearly aimed at the undergraduate market and it is here that most of its sales will come from. To that end it is written clearly and concisely with short but connected chapters, with discussion points and essay questions. It is to the undergraduate market, though, as opposed to the postgraduate where this text has its strength. Key authors are introduced in a sensible way, but the text is not overly cluttered with too many references. Some may see this as a weakness, but the authors convey an approachable style that will engage students. Perhaps though, I was a little surprised that the ‘bibliography and further reading’ section was only a list of (useful) source material. The authors could have recommended a small number of key texts following each chapter in addition to this list.
