Indisciplined and Unsubstantiated : Reply to Leiper
نویسندگان
چکیده
In his comment on The Indiscipline of Tourism, Neil Leiper steers his argument by way of an indisciplined scenic route, treating the reader to asides about the Royal Family, the tourism industry and even a journey to Austria with the economist Khan. His many asides serve often to obscure, rather than underpin, the conclusion that the discipline of tourism studies will probably continue to develop, (a conclusion which itself cannot resist a minor detour into tourism forecasting and the Asian economic downturn). Nevertheless, it is assumed that the substantive point the Leiper wishes to reassert is that tourism is a discipline. But as this reply will demonstrate, that is a belief which he fails to substantiate.
