Assessment - Annotated Bibliography - Interdependence of the Tourism, Hospitality and Events Industries
Overview
The objective of this assessment is for students to more closely examine how the tourism, hospitality and events industries relate to one another, in an interdependent manner. This will be done by gathering resources and creating an annotated bibliography. A bibliography is a list of citations to resources such as book and articles.

Your critical review needs to be conducted in terms of the way the information provided in each source highlights the way in which the tourism, hospitality and events industries are related to each other and are interdependent.
