      abstract = {"Around the world every year many thousands of students  have to complete dissertations or theses as part of their  undergraduate or masters studies in tourism and related  subjects. Often the dissertation or thesis represents the  culmination of their programme as a substantial piece of  self-directed work. More than just a means to consolidate  their final grade, it is also an exciting chance to conduct  intensive research on a topic of their choosing. It can  also be a gateway to further periods of study as well as  job offers and future career paths. Yet for all these  reasons, the dissertation is viewed by many students as a  tricky challenge. This book intends to take the stress and  anxiety out of doing a dissertation in tourism studies and  related disciplines. The dissertation process is examined  from the germination of an idea to the submission,  presentation and assessment of the final document. We offer  a framework for conducting dissertations in the  English-speaking world which students can adopt to varying  degrees in their research at the undergraduate and masters  levels. We aim to debunk the popular myths and common  pitfalls of doing a dissertation. Rather than view the  dissertation as a single, overwhelming project, the  dissertation is presented as a series of more modest,  manageable yet crucially inter-linked tasks that all  students can successfully complete through effective time  management"--},
