Papers by Professor Andreas Papatheodorou
The work begins with an overview of the main principles and issues in competition analysis. Corporate rivalry in the areas of transport for tourism, the accommodation sector and travel distribution are then examined, drawing examples and case studies from the international arena. Among the studies included are corporate rivalry and competition in the airline industry, the impact of information technology on tourism competition, the travel distribution system in the US retail sector and competition in visitor attractions and holiday parks. Finally, emerging problems and the measures required to alleviate them are discussed. With contributors drawn from leading experts in the field, "Corporate Rivalry and Market Power" provides an important and original analysis of competition issues in the tourism industry. It forms essential reading for scholars and practitioners in tourism, industrial economics and economic geography.
The text is now in four parts covering: demand; supply; national, regional and international matters and environmental issues. The concluding chapter appraises the state of the economic research into tourism. The increased interest in tourism has engendered the development of new methods of analysis and the refinement of established ones. Accordingly, the book has been extensively restructured, revised and expanded with two new chapters: chapter six of the first edition is now broken down into two and a new chapter has been added on environmental issues to take account of new developments, critically review the associated literature and consider future trends in tourism economics research. The reader-friendliness of the book has also been enhanced in various ways, such as the extensive chapter cross-referencing to refresh the reader’s memory and the inclusion of a detailed list of abbreviations.
The Economics of Tourism will continue to make accessible for the non-specialist, the application and relevance of economics to tourism. Extensively revised and updated, including research and case studies the textbook will be an indispensable resource for both students and researchers.
