Tourism research, Touristic knowledge, Mexico, Trends, Tourism journalsAbstract
The study of international tourism research is useful in understanding the progress in the global construction of knowledge in the field. It can help to identify research needs and opportunities both at the global and national levels. The aim of this paper is to identify needs for tourism research as a research subject itself in Mexico. The study postulates five research needs for tourism studies in the country: broadening the number of topics related to tourism as a multidimensional entity; studying its research trends by adopting more encompassing methods; analyzing the current state of specific topics; identifying author’s and journals’ leaderships in the national context and; incorporating national knowledge to the international debates of tourism.
