Sobre este producto
  • Unlock the reality of one of the world's largest and most misunderstood industries.Tourism is often seen through a lens of glamour—sunsets, luxury hotels, and global adventure. But for those who live it, the profession is a high-stakes masterclass in leadership, psychology, ethics, and crisis management. In The Tourism Professional, Dr. Korey Amrine and Drew Missman pull back the curtain on decades of experience across all seven continents. From the adrenaline of backcountry river guiding and zipline tours to the strategic complexities of tourism policy and business ownership, this book is the definitive guide to building a career that is both sustainable and rewarding. What’s Inside:The "University of the Open Road": Real-world lessons on slow travel, from scrubbing toilets in New Zealand hostels to buying a beat-up Ford Falcon to traverse Australia.The Art of Human Connection: Mastering emotional intelligence, cross-cultural communication, and the sacred duty of hospitality known as xenia.Crisis Leadership: How to handle the 12-minute pivot—managing volcanic eruptions and flash floods in Iceland with calm authority.The Business of Travel: A blueprint for launching a tour company, navigating international regulations, and hacking the system with credit card points and IATAN credentials.Ethics and Responsibility: Critical discussions on avoiding poverty tourism, protecting local cultures, and the dark reality of the orphanage industrial complex.Career Longevity: Strategies for setting professional boundaries, avoiding burnout, and knowing when to pivot into teaching or consulting.Global Trends: Insight into how AI and smart tourism are reshaping the way we design itineraries and interact with travelers.Personal Narratives: Raw stories of life on the road, including sleeping in the back of a station wagon and living in a tent made of a Costco tarp to save for the next adventure. Who This Book Is For:Whether you are a student considering the field, a seasoned guide looking to sharpen your edge, an entrepreneur building a travel brand, or a curious traveler seeking to understand the power of your presence, this book offers the unfiltered reality that textbooks and brochures skip.The Tourism Professional is not a glossy brochure or a travel influencer fantasy; it is a practical, honest, and experience-driven guide to what it actually means to work in tourism and hospitality today. It is the guide the authors wish they had when they started their own journeys decades ago.Tourism done well changes lives—starting with your own.
