Because the sociology of tourism has not been recognized as a subdiscipline on par with, for example, the sociology of religion, or of the family, it has not acquired a conventional body of theory as a bedrock. Therefore, as the contributors here explore tourism as a sociocultural, political, and economic phenomenon, they seek to put down roots that may or may not take. They are academics from many countries, but whose fields are not identified. The 1996 edition was cloth bound. Distributed in the US by Taylor and Francis. Annotation c.
