Abstract

In the early days, research in tourism was mainly stimulated by investigations commissioned by business associations and policy makers rather than by scientific curiosity on open issues and by a clear research agenda (Ashworth 1989). At that time, the research was acritically descriptive and inadequate in the methodology, instruments, and approaches used.

Fußnoten
1
An interesting analysis of current research themes can be found in Tribe and Xiao (2011).
 
2
The remaining of Sect. 1.4 is mainly borrowed by Candela and Figini (2009) and (2010b).
 
3
In the economic field, the most important journals can be considered Annals of Tourism Research, Journal of Travel Research, Tourism Economics and Tourism Management. Without being exhaustive, the number of journals related to tourism has risen from a dozen to more than 100 in less than 20 years. See Hall (2011) for a bibliometric analysis and journal ranking.
 
4
This sharing of belonging and of disciplinary autonomy confers a reciprocal enrichment between economics and tourism economics, since the “richness” of the tourism phenomenon introduces into applied economics many non-traditional research themes, alongside with the traditional topics of microeconomics and macroeconomics. Therefore, if economics supplies tourism economics with the method and the analytical toolbox, the latter returns a stimulus to research inferred from observation, so contributing to the innovation and richness of its themes: this relationship between abstraction and reality has often proved to be prolific for economics.
