Handbook of Professional Tour Management

This second edition of this practical handbook provides a solid foundation for understanding all of the elements that go into producing and directing a group tour. Topics covered include planning, developing, and costing a tour, with emphasis given to conducting a tour from the time it leaves home base until it returns. A comprehensive review of the routine on tour, the problems that arise, and solutions to these problems is also provided, as well as reports and reunions which follow such trips. This book should be of interest to students taking courses in tour management.
