Description
THE ROAD TO HOSPITALITY, 3e takes us to the exciting and dynamic world of hospitality, which continues to be a growth industry in Australia. A career in hospitality is a popular choice for students, so it is important that professional training continues to grow and adapt to the industry's requirements. The text uses real-world industry examples to strengthen the applicability of the theory. It follows a logical and clear structure that aids learning and builds on the student's knowledge and skills. Attention is given to cross-cultural material and career opportunities, ensuring relevance to today's industry issues. New To This Edition : The ROAD TO TOURISM MEDIA ENHANCED EDITION contains an interactive DVD that delivers a mixture of film clips, images, virtual tours (or slide shows) and interactive assessments to support the delivery of competencies in the text. Each chapter on the DVD contains resources for teachers and students to use. When used in conjunction with the text, the DVD will prove to be an invaluable tool as it assists students to consolidate learning. By combining the text and DVD you will also be able to enhance the learning of visual learners and students from non English speaking backgrounds who may have difficulty learning with a text book alone. Teachers can use the DVD in the classroom to vary delivery and students can use it either in the classroom or at home to reinforce learning.
