El Turismo como Objeto de Investigación -Tourism as an Object of Study

Abstract

RESUMEN

A pesar de la producción bibliográfica de las últimas décadas, los investigadores asisten a una gran fragmentación en los sentidos que cada disciplina le asigna al Turismo. El paradigma de la sustentabilidad económica ha regido la producción de los estudios turísticos por años, no obstante, en la actualidad la epistemología parece haber entrado en crisis. El presente trabajo discute e intenta una definición de Turismo a través de su objeto de estudio.  En cierta forma, el progreso de la investigación sobre Hospitalidad y Turismo dependerá de la capacidad de los académicos y profesionales de desarrollar una teoría rigurosa basada en la investigación que permita conceptualizar de forma práctica y teórica el término en forma integrada.

PALABRAS CLAVES

Turismo. Hospitalidad. Epistemología. Objeto de Investigación. Definición.

ABSTRACT

Despite of the over production of the Tourism-related scholars over the recent decades, there is still a great fragmentation in the sense of tourism, as well as the interpretation of each discipline about Tourism. Though the paradigm of sustainability has ruled the discipline for years, no less true is that in the recent years the object of study of Tourism has waded into crisis. The present text attempts a shared definition of tourism through its object of study. Certainly, the progress of tourism investigation depends on the capacity of scholarship and policy makers to shape an exhaustive definition towards a more integrated form.

KEY WORDS

Tourism. Hospitality Epistemology. Object of Study. Definition.
