ABSTRACT
Since the authors started working on this book, the editors were asked the question – Why do you need Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS)? Editors frequently thought that IBM SPSS is a very intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) and surveyed their email inbox from 2014 to 2019. Many of the workshops, faculty development programs (FDPs), orientation r refresher programs, summer or winter schools have an increasing trend toward SPSS. The next stage of the survey was looking at the papers, published in tourism, hospitality, and events related journals, over 10 years. Here again, it was observed that the trend of using SPSS for analysis is continuously increasing. Finally, the editors came to the decision that their next product will satisfy the needs of upcoming and young researchers – SPSS is the trend. Therefore, the editors thought to compile all the necessary information that a researcher needs to understand before starting her journey to the world of statistics world and SPSS.
