As the field of tourism and hospitality experiences maturity and
scientific sophistication, researchers need to fully understand the
breadth and depth of existing scales that help explain, understand,
monitor, and predict not only behavior but also consequences of such
behavior as a function of demand and supply interactions in the field.
By introducing the importance of measurement and scales and providing
groupings of existing scales, The Handbook of Scales in Tourism and
Hospitality Research serves as the state-of-the-art reference book in
the field of tourism, hospitality and allied fields such leisure,
recreation, and services management.
