"Lifelong Learning for Tourism: Concepts, Policy and Implementation outlines lifelong learning for tourism from multiple perspectives and includes cases from a variety of contexts. From a global perspective, lifelong learning is conceived not only as a vocational theme of adult education but is also understood as learning during lifetime without distinction of origin or purpose. This holistic view, as well as the balance between theory and case studies, makes Lifelong Learning for Tourism: Concepts, Policy and Implementation optimal for both academics and tourism professionals."
