Bill Bryson has an excellent way with words, especially with his descriptive writing. For a travel writer, I suppose this is a must. He's also a humorist, and I laughed out loud on at least a half a dozen occasions while enjoying his adventures down under. Particularly amusing were his descriptions of a Cricket match, of a particularly bad hotel in Darwin and and of a drunken night in the Outback. He also gives a fine overall view of Austrailia, of which he covered much, but alas not nearly as much as he wanted.
Economics For Hotel Management explains the basic principle of economics and highlights the application of these principles to hotel management. The efficacy of economic principles at both the micro and macro levels in the hotel industry is emphasised throughout the book. The discussion of the concepts is illustrated through appropriate examples, diagrams and flowcharts for an easier understanding. The book would serve as an useful text for students of economics and hotel and tourism management.
