Description: "That the UK's tourism industry is one of the principal planks in our economy is well-known; that it is largely ignored by the government is partly due to its fragmentation, which inhibits its capacity to speak with one voice. Rik Medlik's Dictionary with its Directory ... of tourism-related organisations in the UK makes it a sine qua non to anyone engaged in an industry which Rik Medlik's work and vision pioneered in professionalising. Who amongst our thousands is not profoundly indebted to him?

Harry Baum, MBE, FTS, FRGS, Chairman, The Convention Partnership Ltd, UK

"Anyone who harbours a doubt that Tourism is a dynamic, progressive and growing industry need only note that the 3rd Edition of Rik Medlik's excellent dictionary contains 33% more entries than its predecessor."

"From a la carte to Zloty, Medlik defines the vast and vibrant tourism industry with wit and wisdom, in his usual precise and economical style."

"Medlik's comprehensive compendium is relevant to those who learn about tourism, those who manage tourism, those who work in tourism, and those who participate in tourism, wherever in the world they may be."

David Longworth, Vice President, Oberoi Centre of Learning and Development, India

"The 3rd edition adheres to the Medlik standards: thorough; accurate, interesting and just plain good reading."

Jerry Vallen, Dean Emeritus, College of Hotel Administration, University of Nevada Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

"Success in the hospitality industry comes through attention to detail; nobody does this better than Professor Rik Medlik, with a style that is authoritative, informative and, above all, interesting. Professor Medlik's prolific contribution to the world's body of knowledge about tourism and hospitality is unparalleled and this latest work roundly illustrates the point."

Peter Venison, Managing Director, Sun International Hotels Ltd, UK
