Dr. Mancini is fantastic!

Marc Mancini, Phd, is the travel industry's most well-known industry educator and speaker. As a travel school student (and later as an Instructor at the same school) I watched his many travel education videos and read many of his textbooks. He clearly presents topics vital to the travel industry and explains in depth subjects which should be required reading for all professionals in the industry. Now, even with over 13 years working in various segments of the highly diverse travel and tourism field, I find reading Dr. Mancini's books and viewing his entertaining and informative videos enhances my everyday performance. I highly recommend Dr. Mancini's materials to all currently employed in the travel industry and those considering a career change!!!

Excellent book for anyone interested in travel!

I used this book at a travel school and kept it for reference for my own travels. It's a great source for travel ideas for anyone. A must buy!

The best geography book geared to the travel industry

Most of the geography books available today have limited usefullness to a travel agent. Knowing the amount of bauxite a country produces doesn't help sell that region as a travel destination. In this book, Mancini details the important facts about the places that people travel to throughout the world.In addition to the useful locater maps and detailed descriptions of the various cities and countries, Mancini includes little known facts and suggestions that travel agents can pass along to their customers. A first rate book.
