Perspectives and Anthropology in Tourism and Hospitality (PATH)
Tourism has long been hailed as one of the most powerful force of economic growth worldwide. Its ability to generate employment, boost infrastructure, and facilitate cultural exchange is unmatched. However, the tourism industry’s rapid expansion has often come at a cost in environmental degradation, cultural commodification, and the exploitation of natural resources. Today, more than ever, there is a growing consensus that sustainable tourism must become the norm rather than the exception.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press.
