Worth Repeating... Tourism not biggest industry

As I prep for teaching Travel and Tourism Planning next spring 2013, I am gathering a set of reading on the subject. One that I may use early in the course is the essay by Dr. Alan Lew of Northern Arizona University found on his blog.

Originally written in 2008, Alan updated the blog earlier this year (2012) and for obvious reasons, received several comments.

While Tourism is big, and I mean BIG, like grades in education, I also believe the statistics are highly inflated.
