With each destination, an interview with a police or security representative is included-providing unique, in-depth insight to security concerns.Tourism Security is an invaluable resource for private security professionals, police departments that serve tourist destinations, and tourism professionals who work in hotels or convention centers, or at attractions, casinos, or events.
