This textbook is an introduction to the tourism and hospitality industry in British Columbia, and is written with a first year college and university audience in mind. It is a collaborative work with input from educators, industry leaders, employers, and past graduates of BC’s tourism and hospitality management programs.

All chapters have been reviewed by experts in the field. Each chapter is organized thematically moving from a global, then national, and finally provincial context. Chapters contain "Spotlight On" boxes that highlight an organization, business, or other key component and "Take a Closer Look" features that encourage further reading on particular subjects. Key terms, exercises and case studies can be found at the end of each chapter.

Once upon a time, there was an industry that employed ten-percent of workers worldwide. It spanned borders and cultures, economics, and demographics. It endured man-made catastrophes, natural disasters, economic crises, and technological evolution. It is resilient. It is flexible. It will not rest. Of course, I am referring to the hospitality industry.

Recently, the hospitality industry has faced exceptional adversity in navigating the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, it has persevered and evolved to continue to provide customers with, although altered, high-quality customer service. Although some players have closed their doors forever, others have adapted to see record growth. The future for hospitality organizations will continue to shift and morph from the world we once knew but it goes without saying that this industry will survive and continue to thrive whatever comes its way.

Join us as we explore the history and future of this diverse and dynamic industry. Each section will show you career paths and real-world success stories in a different segment of the industry. My hope is that your eyes are opened to new opportunities and your passion is ignited to explore how your journey may unfold as a customer, an employee, and, potentially, a leader in the great big world of hospitality.

Deep Dives and case studies provide in-depth exploration and real-world application, promoting critical thinking and peer-to-peer learning.

This handbook supersedes FAA-H-8261-16A, Instrument Procedures Handbook, dated 2015. It is designed as a technical
reference for all pilots who operate under instrument flight rules (IFR) in the National Airspace System (NAS). It expands
and updates information contained in the FAA-H-8083-15B, Instrument Flying Handbook, and introduces advanced
information for IFR operations. Instrument flight instructors, instrument pilots, and instrument students will also find this
handbook a valuable resource since it is used as a reference for the Airline Transport Pilot and Instrument Knowledge Tests
and for the Practical Test Standards. It also provides detailed coverage of instrument charts and procedures including IFR
takeoff, departure, en route, arrival, approach, and landing. Safety information covering relevant subjects such as runway
incursion, land and hold short operations, controlled flight into terrain, and human factors issues also are included.
