A lot of practical management tips are shared. . . . Provides real-world examples that offer a multitude of practical applications that inspire you to implement sustainability and social responsibility in the tourism and hospitality industry."

"The tourism industry contributes trillions of dollars to the global economy and wine tourism is a sector of continued growth and impact. This book is one of the first to provide leading-edge research related to strategic winery management." Dr. Karen Thompson, Chair of the Department of Business Administration and Managing Director of Academic Programs "Unlike existing few books in the area, the perspective of this book on strategic winery tourism, winery marketing, and management is refreshing. A wide variety of timely and important topics are covered, ranging from product development, winery testing room management, financial and revenue management issues to service quality management, design, and experience. It is an excellent addition to the growing area of winery tourism management. The book is nicely and comprehensively crafted to serve as a major source of reference for both practitioners, researchers, and students of culinary, hospitality and tourism management."
