520 _a Quantitative Tourism Industry Analysis is the first book to deal with the input-output, social accounting matrix in a way which readers from a non-economics or non-mathematical background can follow, in order to understand how useful their application would be for tourism industry analysis. It acquaints readers with useful applications of economic modelling without the unnecessary burden of higher algebra, so that they will understand concepts of the economics measurement system, Tourism Satellite Accounts (TSA) methodology. Quantitative Tourism Industry Analysis offers a new set of economic tools for tourism policy analysis, ideal for those with a non-mathematical background. * Tried and tested material to ensure that this often daunting topic is explained in an approachable way * Review questions provided at the end of each chapter to check understanding * A CD-ROM containing a wealth of extra learning material and key spreadsheets to illustrate the theories for more complex areas * Supporting teaching material available online for instructors.
