"This book is a comprehensive study of financial management of travel and tourism. When we think about tour and travel, a simple question emerges on the mental screen-what is the central point of attraction. A large number of diverse things come in the mind like architecture, museums, public sculpture, nature, theme parks, zoo, retail parks, historical monuments etc. A large number of travelers come to see. In this modern age travel and tourism has become a mode of industry. It is linked to the financial management. Financial management can be seen as a function of management concerned with managing the financial aspects of a company activities just as the marketing function and personnel functions, for instance, are concerned with the managing of products and managing of people, respectively."
