The topic of this book is a difficult subject to study, but the job has certainly been accomplished in a commendable way here. The authors are well known experts who are very familiar with the Pacific perspective. The book should be a very significant reference guide for those interested in trends and issues in Oceanic tourism, including industry and government officials as well as students.
