TOURISM AND CATLERY ECONOMY
The book contains the lectures in the subject of “Economics of Tourism and Catering” which is studied in the first year of Gastronomic course at the Faculty for Tourism and Catering in Ohrid.
Because the subject “Economics of Tourism and Catering” is a specific one, therefore this work carries its originality. Its specificity, actually is consisted of two separated scientific disciplines: the first one Economics of Tourism and the second Economics of Catering.
The “Economics of Tourism” represents a science of its own which researches the appearances, relations and movements in tourism which is not defined as a concrete economic branch but a conglomeration of more branches that participate in the suffice of the tourists.
Catering is a branch that has the biggest participation in tourism. Hence, Economics of Catering is a concrete science that researches appearances, relations and movements in a concrete economic branch i.e. the Catering.
Those are the reasons that make this work have two parts. In the first one entitled as “Economics of Tourism”. At the beginning of this work the base concepts of Tourism are elaborated, while the main part relates with the effects of tourism (economic and non economic), and the tourist market.
In the second part are elaborated the main terms of the Catering, working in the Catering, the instruments in the Catering, expenditures, prices, the economic principles of working etc.
With all that this work includes, I think that it can serve not just to students but also to a wider catering audience, this is why I have decided to make it a part of my web page.
With all the respect
