How Access Codes Work

Summary

For introductory courses in hospitality.

Empower tomorrow’s hospitality leaders
Revel Exploring the Hospitality Industry fills a vital need: to broadly cover the hospitality industry and provide a dynamic introduction for hospitality management students. More practical than theoretical, the text addresses the latest trends across hospitality segments – from the traditional realms of tourism, hotels, and restaurants, to growth areas such as event management. The 4th edition examines the latest careers, operations, and management principles within each featured segment. Drawing on new learning outcomes, it analyzes the industry’s newest developments and challenges, while refreshing content to reflect ever-evolving roles and practices.

Revel is Pearson’s newest way of delivering our respected content. Fully digital and highly engaging, Revel replaces the textbook and gives students everything they need for the course. Informed by extensive research on how people read, think, and learn, Revel is an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience – for less than the cost of a traditional textbook.

NOTE:
Revel is a fully digital delivery of Pearson content. This ISBN is for the standalone Revel access card. In addition to this access code, you will need a course invite link, provided by your instructor, to register for and use Revel.
