This How to guide examines how quantitative and qualitative research can be combined, evaluating the various mixed method research designs that have recently come to prominence in tourism studies. Using cast study examples, chapters cover research on tourism destination quality, heritage attractions, festivals and events, food tourism and hospitality, alongside the use of participatory geographical information systems. They also explore how to teach mixed methods research to tourism students, emphasising that mixed methods research is an expanding and increasingly important approach to tourism research.

How to use Mixed Methods in Tourism is an invaluable resource for students and academics in tourism and hospitality, as well as those specialising in research methods within the field. Practitioners within the tourism industry will also find this a useful reference.
