Summary
This book was written to help students carry out research papers and undergraduate or graduate theses. It is primarily aimed at tourism students, but it can also be comfortably used by students from other social sciences. From their experiences so far, both R. Durbarry and the editors of the Greek edition have found that students struggle to conduct independent research. Thus, this book provides essential assistance for undertaking your research, starting from the selection of your topic.
To this end, it presents a balanced approach to the dimensions of qualitative and quantitative analysis, uses many applied examples, and the language used is simple and understandable. Additionally, English terminology is included alongside the Greek, providing one more resource for students. We are confident that with this work, independent research will become a creative and enjoyable activity for you.
