Chapter Chapter 1 in The Economics of Tourism Destinations, 2012, pp 1-13 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In the early days, research in tourism was mainly stimulated by investigations commissioned by business associations and policy makers rather than by scientific curiosity on open issues and by a clear research agenda (Ashworth 1989). At that time, the research was acritically descriptive and inadequate in the methodology, instruments, and approaches used.
