I have this book for a class in Tourism at Western Illinois. It has an uninspired and poor layout, boring writing throughout. It is made up basically of just a bunch of lists for Agencies and data. My head wants to explode reading this bore. Avoid at all cost if possible. Oh, the single positive and reason for being able to get even one star is that there are a few nice color photographs of nice locations.

It says tourism on the cover, but I'm fairly sure this is a statistics book...it's full of numbers, random agencies no one's ever heard of, and facts no one could possibly ever need to know. If at all possible, use a different book, this one reads like a math book.
