'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 broaden and deepens understanding of China's place in the world.'--Geoffrey Wall, University of Waterloo, Canada
