Broadly speaking, academic tourism research comes in two main
shapes - why and how to. Both traditions seem unable to ever meet
and their trajectory reminds of scissors agape. Tourism research,
it is argued in this book, finds itself in a serious scissors
crisis. Accordingly, the text reflects on how the crisis came about
and looks at its effect on the real world. It explores how, within
the limited realm of tourism behavior, the scissors crisis mirrors
the post-romantic elan that since the 1960s has engulfed most
social sciences in a blietzkrieg that was as harmful in its
rejection of a modern market economy as it was shallow in
theoretical views. From this point on, the book maintains a number
of contrarian views that run against the grain of conventional
academic wisdom. It highlights how the post-romantic worldview
(mis)construes the global tourist system. In conclusion, the book
favors a complete about turn in hypotheses and analytical tools to
gap the yawning scissor crisis and to make tourism research more
accountable to developments in the real world.
