This significant book sheds light on the possibilities and importance of undertaking interdisciplinary research between tourism and adjacent disciplines in order to further promote the values and contributions of tourism research in both academia and society.
The book critically explores the nexus between interdisciplinary research and tourism while also unpacking methods of tourism education through the lens of interdisciplinary research. Drawing on cutting-edge interdisciplinary tourism research, this volume ranges across various geographical regions and covers important contemporary themes such as gender tourism, senior leisure tourism, and the impacts of health and wellbeing on tourism experience.
Written by leading academics, this insightful volume will be of interest to students and researchers working in tourism, sociology, anthropology, geography, and related disciplines.
"As scholars continue to wrangle with epistemological aspects of the study of tourism, the authors of this book offer an eclectic, novel, and insightful set of contributions to this debate. In doing so they illustrate the challenges and possibilities of interdisciplinary research in an engaging and persuasive way which will surely influence the development of the field."
John Tribe, York St John University, UK
"When multidisciplinarity appears to act as a “bottleneck” for the integration and enhancement of tourism research and scholarship, interdisciplinarity has come to the call. This book puts together a collection of fresh perspectives on, and innovative approaches to, understanding the complexities and challenges associated with tourism. It is a must-read for academics and research students working in this evolving and expanding field."
Honggen Xiao, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong SAR, CN
"At a time when so many tourism scholars continue within their disciplinary silos, this book is a welcome addition to any collection of works on tourism research, because it illustrates precisely why tourism must be treated as an interdisciplinary subject. This tome is chock full of empirical illustrations of interdisciplinarity and brings to light new ways of thinking about tourism research from a multitude of diverse perspectives."
