“…Pearce (1979Pearce ( , 1995 identified Miège (1933) and Defert (1967) as the pioneer French geographers who laid the foundations for tourism studies. However, Barbier and Pearce (1984) stated that these studies did not immediately give rise to other specialized research, and it was not until 1969 that the first doctoral thesis devoted exclusively to tourism appeared (Cribier 1969). According to Miège, geographers were interested in tourism in two ways: as the movement of people and as a regional resource (cited in Pearce 1979).…”

“…He further stated that this point of view has been constantly reiterated to this day through the works of George (1974), Michaud (1983) and Bavoux (1997). The 1970s and the early 1980s were reported as a highly productive period, with many studies conducted from a regional geography perspective (Barbier and Pearce 1984;Lazzarotti 2002). Throughout the 1990s, the scope of tourism was broadened considerably, as studies were conducted on a variety of topics, including attractions, facilities, flows and the relationship between tourism and the environment (Barbier and Pearce 1984).…”

This paper provides an overview of past and current traditions and trends in tourism research conducted by geographers. The paper is divided into three parts. Part One discusses the traditions in geography scholarship, with respect to the era, language and themes of tourism research. The focus in Part Two is on contemporary trends, examining, in particular, papers presented at three annual meetings of the Association of American Geographers (AAG) and several recent volumes of this journal (Tourism Geographies). Part Three outlines emerging trends and the challenges of continuing the geographical traditions. The paper concludes that, just as the discipline of geography is vibrant today, so is the sub-discipline of tourism geography. Geographers are continuing the tradition to address very complex, diverse and dynamic issues about tourism relevant to the scientific community and society at large. Résumé: Traditions et tendances: un examen de la recherche en géographie du tourismeCet article examine les traditions et les tendances passées et contemporaines dans la recherche sur le tourisme par des géographes. Cet article se divise en trois parties. La première partie traite des traditions de la recherche en géographie en tenant compte de la période, de la langue et des thèmes de la recherche en tourisme. La deuxième partie se concentre sur les tendances contemporaines en se référant plus particulièrement aux présentations faitesà trois conférences nationales de l'Association des Géographes Américains (AAG dans le texte) età plusieurs volumes récents de ce journal (Tourism Geographies). La troisième partie indique les tendancesà venir et les problèmes que soulève le maintien des traditions géographiques. L'article conclut que la sous-discipline de la géographie du tourisme est aussi vivace aujourd'hui que la géographie elle-même. Les géographes continuent de soulever des problèmes extrêmement complexes, divers et dynamiques au sujet du tourisme qui sont de grande valeur pour la communauté scientifique et la société en général.

Der Schwerpunkt im zweiten Abschnitt liegt auf derzeitigen Trends, wobei insbesondere Veroeffentlichungen von drei Jahrestreffen der Association of American Geographers (AAG) sowie mehrere neuere Jahrgaenge dieses Journals untersucht werden. Der dritte Teil beschreibt neu entstehende Trends sowie die Herausforderungen fuer die Fortsetzung geographischer Traditionen. Die Studie kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass Tourismusgeographie, als Teilgebiet der Geographie, genauso wie diese auch heute eine aktuelle und lebendige Disziplin ist. Geographen setzen die Tradition fort, sich m...
