Long time traveler, New travel student I recently enrolled in a series of travel courses through a community college. The first/introductory class required this textbook. It's not a book I would have just picked up, but I found the entire text thoroughly enjoyable. The chapters are quite informative even for veteran travelers. For new, or potential, travel students they provide an excellent overview of various segments of the travel industry. It's easy reading and Mr. Mancini throws in the odd, funny comment here and there. I looked forward to picking it up every day.. "WOW, I love the layout, so will you" according to Henry J. I've been in the travel industry since 1996, and in order to keep my competitive edge it requires me to stay on top of the ever changing trends. It is easy to do with Dr. Mancini's textbooks and training DVDs. But, when I opened this book (ACCESS, Introduction to Travel and Tourism) I actually said "WOW". I was very pleased with the layout, font size, contents of the book and the color selection used in highlighting the "Insider Tips".

It's the must-have resource for those new to the industry, those returning to the industry after an extended period away and those who are considering a career move into the exciting world of the travel industry.""Cypress College has been using Access for many years now and one of the major strengths of this introductory book is that it includes key information, avoiding mind-numbing, nonessential details that tend to turn off entry-level college students.
