Abstract
While acknowledging that not all influential and meaningful tourism knowledge is academic and scientific in nature (Liburd, 2012), the academic study of tourism has now arguably reached a level of maturity that is rich, diverse and highly useful to various stakeholders and in multiple ways at a global level. Academic tourism knowledge spans several decades of sustained empirical inquiry. This period of sustained tourism scholarship started during the Second World War and is now present in over 270 tourism and related academic journals.
