From the Publisher:

The Routledge Dictionary of Leisure and Tourism is an essential and affordable guide to a multi-billion dollar industry for students, managers and policy makers alike. Up to date and fully cross-referenced, this dictionary incorporates academic, sociological and practical management, as well as legislative terms.

Topics covered include:

* leisure pursuits, from BASE Jumping to gambling and from DIY to watching TV
* government institutions and non-governmental organizations
* physical education and social inclusion
* economic terms such as globalization and the informal economy
* theoretical analyses of how we spend our free time.

Written by leading authorities in leisure and tourism, and relevant for use at a variety of levels, this is a must-have resource for all those working in and studying these industries.
