Recenzje

"I found the book interesting to read. I learned many different tourism practices, especially the topic of green marketing and recycling behaviour on vacation. The book is a much-awaited contribution complied with contemporary issues that offer updated knowledge in the area of consumer behaviour. It offers a variety of cutting edge and current topics while exploring relevant practical examples supported by sound theoretical contributions and critical debates. I recommend this book and believe it is a key reference for researchers, lecturers, and students, and it is also an essential read for others keen to learn more about consumer behaviour in tourism."
