Declining or Waning
- Traditional Mass Tourism:
There is a noticeable decline in studies centered on traditional mass tourism phenomena, as the field shifts towards more nuanced analyses of niche tourism markets and experiential travel. - Colonial Tourism Narratives:
Research exploring colonial tourism narratives is becoming less frequent, possibly due to a growing emphasis on post-colonial perspectives and the examination of tourism's role in contemporary social justice issues. - Static Historical Accounts:
The journal seems to be moving away from static historical accounts of tourism in favor of dynamic analyses that consider the ongoing evolution of travel and its societal impacts. - Focus on Western Destinations:
There appears to be a decreasing emphasis on tourism histories centered solely on Western destinations, as the journal increasingly highlights non-Western perspectives and global tourism practices. - Economic Impact Studies:
Research focused primarily on the economic impacts of tourism is becoming less prominent, as the journal broadens its scope to include social and cultural dimensions of tourism.
