What are the biggest challenges facing tourism and tourism research? This paper answers this question by canvassing the opinions of recognised experts in the field. The analysis is based on 30 interviews with fellows of the International Academy for the Study of Tourism. Two key thematic issues were identified. First, the pragmatic issue of how to operationalise sustainability and its various sub-elements, such as climate change, overtourism and tourisation to ensure the long term future of tourism. Second, the need for further integration between disciplines within the tourism field, between tourism and other fields, and between research and practice.

“…They have to accommodate changing circumstances brought on by a developing relationship with their market: their attitudes to where their output fits into the art world changes. For instance, Interviewee 14 refers to art as a form of knowledge which relates to higher levels of product conceptualisation beyond core, embodied and augmented levels (Lehman, Wickham & Fillis, 2014). For him it is the 'overarching idea of discourse and exchange of ideas' which is important.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess the notion of art as a product. This paper develops a detailed understanding of how established visual artists engage with the notion in their art making and market interactions, drawing insight from the longitudinal debate on the essence of art, including its connection with entrepreneurial marketing. Design/methodology/approach The authors uses a conceptual framework involving artists’ and other stakeholders’ philosophical positions, artists’ career stages, reputation (including branding), market associations and the forms of value generated by artists and consumers to help shape their qualitative research design involving in-depth interviews with 16 established Australian artists. NVivo software aided data analysis to improve theory building. Findings Market orientation, entrepreneurial market creation, co-creation, co-production activities and sharing value among interested stakeholders are important factors in viewing art as a commercial product. Sustainable value creation is also crucial. Key emergent themes were motivation to create, engagement with the market and artists’ attitudes towards art as a product. This paper identifies a fluidity in the relationship between an artist and their art. Research limitations/implications Co-creation, co-production and sharing value among interested stakeholders are important factors as are market orientation versus entrepreneurial market creation activities. Sustainable value creation is also crucial. Key emergent themes were motivation to create, engagement with the market and artists’ attitudes towards art as a product. Practical implications Established artists have made a conscious decision to engage, or otherwise with the marketplace. This research uncovers the merits of adopting a product approach in engaging with the market and artist centred creation which avoids marketplace interaction. Originality/value This research has the potential to contribute to policy decision-making in the sector and in stimulating future comparative research. There are wider implications for the cultural and creative industries where entrepreneurial market creation can stimulate creativity and innovation.

<p>The objective of this paper is to reﬂect on the characteristics of the growth of world tourism and its relationship with the development of cultural tourism. The coming years will be marked by a steady increase in visitors, with diverse demographic, geographic, functional and cultural perﬁles. Under the paradigm that cultural tourism should contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of all those involved, this paper proposes different lines of action that contribute to the sustainability of the cultural and tourism sector. The paper addresses other trends such as the need for balance between marketing and planning, the collective construction of tourist images, the current importance of intangible heritage or the growing presence of new technologies in all aspects of cultural tourism.</p><div><p> </p></div>
