Book Review (Corporate Rivalry and Market Power)

Abstract

This is a specialised book primarily aimed at tourism policymakers at national and local level. The book covers an in-depth analysis of reasons for and consequences of competitive behaviour and strategy formulation in various tourism settings from an oligopolistic viewpoint. Tourism oligopoly is when few firms compete against each other to serve mainly mass leisure and business tourism markets. Even if you are not that interested in economics you may still find some of the chapters in the book an interesting read. This book might also be useful as an additional source for modules in strategic tourism management or tourism environmental analysis.
