“The vast range of contributions inevitably highlights many interesting case studies and best practice that can be used by tourism and hospitality students and practitioners for inspiration. . . . Its diversity and breath also constitute its main strength, and the book can be a useful addition to the libraries of tourism and hospitality educational institutions, particularly the ones of a more technical nature.”

  • marketing sustainability to consumers
  • sustainable culinary practices
