Abstract: The purpose of this conceptual paper was to develop the Tourism Knowledge Translation (TKT) framework, which is positioned as a possible solution to the critical disconnect that has for some time plagued tourism theory and practice. It is adapted from state-of-the-art thinking in healthcare, and acts as a roadmap for managing a sizeable base of knowledge from academic studies; massaging this knowledge into a format that policymakers and practitioners can understand; developing specific methods and tools for use that are held in a knowledge repository; choosing the best studies for inclusion in the system; and making sure this knowledge gets into the hands of industry people quickly. The two principal domains of the TKT framework, Knowledge Creation and the Action Cycle, are applied to the current over-tourism situation in Corsica, and the effects the tourism industry is having on the breeding success of osprey.
