Abstract

The questioning of positivist logics, dominant in tourism research, drove to the so-called critical turn in tourism studies, on the threshold of the twenty-first century. As a result, the Academy of Hope is an attempt to build a new paradigm with distinctive features. This process is reviewed, with a critic of the theoretical basis and ethic-political foundations. Finally, the relationship that must be established between the critical tourism analysis and the moral reflection on its effects is discussed.
