"Hospitality Law, Third Edition provides current and future hospitality managers with the legal understanding they need to take the proactive steps that ensure both the safety of guests and the success of the hospitality operation. This practical resource offers managers a common sense approach grounded in essential principles rather than an encyclopedic knowledge of the law. Vivid scenarios and real-life case studies show these principles in action in recognizable hospitality settings."--Jacket.
