Abstract: AbstractThis chapter provides an overview of the contributions to this handbook and this is accompanied by some editorial observations. The range of these contributions is wide. They cover the demand for tourism, the supply of tourist services and include studies of particular segments of the tourist industry. Attention is also given to the application of cost-benefit analysis and public economics to tourism economics as well as to the importance of inter-industry analysis and tourism statellite accounts in assessing the economic consequences of tourism. International economic aspects of tourism are analysed as well as tourism's role in economic development.
