Hints, tips, exercises as well as end-of-chapter case studies demonstrate real challenges and practical examples from a variety of settings to help students understand how to manage and present their own research. The book is complemented by examples of tourism destinations from Spain, Switzerland, Italy and India, and a selection of PowerPoint slides for lecturers.

It will enable future managers to understand the key principles to maintaining a happy and talented workforce, as well as understanding how to successfully manage their own career path. Talent Management in Hospitality and Tourism uses case studies from international companies such as Carnival UK, Marriott, Hilton as well as SMEs such as Chewton Glen and the Rick Stein group to illustrate successful talent management strategies and how they can be implemented. The text has a complete pedagogic structure, including learning points and activities at the end of each chapter to assist with class room delivery and design assessments.
