Handbooks of Research on Contemporary China series

Edited by Songshan (Sam) Huang, Professor, School of Business and Law, Edith Cowan University, Australia and Ganghua Chen, Associate Professor, School of Tourism Management, Sun Yat-sen University, China

Covering a wide range of current issues, this comprehensive Handbook explores the links between tourism as a dynamic tertiary industry and China as the world’s most influential tourism market and destination.

‘China has become a powerhouse in international tourism, as both an origin and destination, has massive domestic tourism flows, and is the subject of a rapidly growing body of tourism research. This work introduces aspects of China’s tourism to an international audience by making readily accessible the insights of experienced researchers from China and elsewhere. A diversity of topics is covered so that all readers will find something of value, regardless of initial interest, making the book a useful and significant contribution to the tourism literature that both broadens and deepens understanding of China’s place in the world.’
