This book systematically sets out the main types of frameworks that have been used in tourism research, examining their distinguishing features and how they are used, and illustrating these with specific examples. In this way, the book seeks to assist researchers to become more conscious of the range of frameworks available and be more aware of the opportunities for using them; to foster a critical appreciation of appropriate frameworks, both in their own work and the work of others; and to develop and/or apply frameworks more effectively and thereby enhance the quality of their research and the way in which it is communicated. The book has 10 chapters, an author index, and a subject index.
