Tourism research methods integrating theory with practice

The idea for this book developed from a discussion between the editors suggesting that few research books in the tourism field integrate theory with practice and bridge the divide between business research methods and the growing social science perspective. Many tourism courses do not use one sole textbook for tourism research subjects. This is partly
because the tourism industry can be viewed in a multi-disciplinary way, with an interest in tourism as a business and/or as a social phenomenon from a multitude of perspectives (geography, anthropology, psychology, etc.). Although many institutions elect to consider, and indeed place, tourism in business faculties or schools, some are located in social science divisions or schools and there is growing interest in researching tourism from a social science perspective.
