This book provides the first comprehensive assessment of
non-academic research impact in relation to a marginal field of
study, namely tourism studies. Informed by interviews with key
informants, ethnographic reflections on the author's extensive work
with trade and professional associations, and various secondary
data, it paints a picture of inevitable research policy failure.
This conclusion is justified by reference to ill-founded official
conceptualisations of practitioner and organisational behaviour,
and the orientation and quality of tourism research. The author
calls for a more serious consideration of research-informed
teaching as a means of creating knowledge flows from universities.
Research with greater social and economic impact might then be
achievable. This radical assessment will be of interest and value
to policy makers, university research managers and tourism
scholars.
