As President & CEO of the Texas Hotel and Motel Association, I have known Stephen Barth as a revered professor of hospitality law at the University of Houston's Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management, as a tremendously popular seminar leader, and now, I am pleased to say, as an outstanding author.His book, Hospitality Law, provides an up-to-date information source that can teach practicing hospitality managers and students how to avoid and minimize legal difficulties they might otherwise face in the running of lodging properties. The book is well written, easy to follow, and best of all, gives examples from the actual operations of lodging and restaurant establishments. Especially strong are the sections on contract law, safety and security, and employment issues.I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand the legal issues that arise in the everyday decisions that a lodging property professional must make.
The authors made the legal issues easy to understand. I was out there looking for a such book for a long long time, and this is the book. This book helpes me to be prepared for some potential legal matters that I may have to face in a complicated casino hotel environment. I had a great opportunity to meet with the author Stephen Barth at the New York Hotel Show one year. He was a keynote speaker.
Great industry resource for lodging and hospitality managers. This book is far more practical than others Ive used or reviewed. Mr. Barth makes the book usuable for students, yet extremely practical for those already in working in the field. We now promote and encourage the use of this book with all those we work with.
Hospitality Law: Managing Legal Issues in the Hospitality Industry is a very informative, but more importantly it explains its subject in language made easy to understand. I was in particular looking for some background information in the gambling and gaming sector. To the point, this book explained issues in language simple.
This is a law book used in university classes. It is very detailed, includes many solid examples and case studies. The Q&A sections at the end reinforce the highlights made throughout each chapter.There are perhaps three exceptional law books today that are current and that can also be used by expert witnesses and attorneys looking at industry standards. Dr. Barth's is definitely one of these three and I highly recommend itDr. John HoganHospitality EducatorsHogan Hospitality s

This is a book that you might want to read just for the interesting case studies and information. It is well-written and clear with lots of examples. I had to get it for a class, but I'm enjoying it.
The book delivered had binding issues and when I read the reviews it seemed as that binding issues would be cause for not reissuing the book. I to make sure I am not liable had to take pictures of the damage. I personally do not really mind because other than that issue the book is in great shape.
