Reviews / Votes
I really enjoyed this book, which combines basic information on systems theory and tourism systems with more advanced ideas related to networks, network analysis and agent-based modeling. It brings together theory with helpful practical advice and is an important reference for those working in tourism. * Daniel R. Fesenmaier, Modul University Vienna, Austria * A very critical, engaging and timely text on the complexity and dynamics of systems and modelling in the domain of tourism. Authored by two highly critical thinkers, the depth, methodological rigor and case diversity included within make for a challenging yet interesting read on an expanding area of research significance. * Alan Fyall, University of Central Florida, USA * This book communicates the science and art of modelling in a way that will inspire many to adopt system-level perspectives and explore alternative research approaches. The application examples at the end of the book are especially helpful as they illustrate not only the usefulness of different modelling strategies but also the importance of methodological choices. * Ulrike Gretzel, University of Southern California, USA * This book is...a well-written peer-reviewed text which provides postgraduate students, researchers and indeed practitioners with valuable insights on the role and benefits of modelling and simulation in the analysis, explanation and (possibly) prediction of complex adaptive systems such as tourism and hospitality [...] a must-have academic reference textbook for any university library. -- Iride Azara, University of Derby, UK * Current Issues in Tourism, 2020 * Whether you are a scholar, a student, a professional, a decision-maker, a practitioner or a tourism manager, this is a must-have book in your toolbox; it is a book that should be read by everyone involved in research in the field of tourism, but it would also be an excellent choice of textbook in any tourism course. -- Luisa Mich, University of Trento, Italy * Information Technology & Tourism, 2020 *More details
