Richard Bach, in his book Illusions, states a handy aphorism: Perspectiveuse it or lose it. Every year, RG&A shares amongst recreation and tourism management professionals several tools and concepts to help exercise our perspective. Each issue considers a range of issues from outside the leisure industry – from quantum physics to management theory. Each is a PDF file of between 50 and 200 KB.
