For long holiday tourism has been in the grip of economic thinking and sociological research. On this webpage a more balanced view is maintained on the focal centre of tourists' activities: tourists themselves and their encounter with their holiday destination. Tourists take what is given to them and then turn it into their own ends; it is these ends what is of our primary interest and more than 25 articles on this site are about just that: the tourists' tourism.
Under the heading "Tourism" a new article has been added on Climate Change (July, 2020)
and also under the heading "Tourism" I have added a new article about Phenomenology and Tourism (Feb. 2020).
