Description

The first to focus solely upon qualitative research in tourism, this book combines discussions of the philosophies underpinning qualitative research, with reflexive chapters that demonstrate how these techniques can be used. Incorporating a range of case studies written by leading international scholars, this book makes clear the ways in which these pieces of research have been informed by the authors' epistemological, ontological and methodological standpoint. Based on a range of empirical tourism studies set in the context of theoretical discussion, it demonstrates the benefits of using a range of qualitative approaches to research tourism, exploring the ways in which a number of techniques, including participants observation, memory work, biographical diaries, focus groups and visual exercises, have been adopted by researchers from a range of disciplinary backgrounds to undertake empirical research in tourism. An indispensable text for final year undergraduates, Masters and PhD students embarking on research in the field, it also will be a valuable title for academics with an interest in either tourism research or qualitative methodology. Linking theory with research practice, it offers a holistic account of qualitative research in tourism.

Progress in qualitative research in tourism

The term ‘qualitative research’ is something of an enigma. For some time, the issue of what exactly qualitative research is has been at the centre of a great deal of debate within social science, most notably in the disciplines of sociology and anthropology (see May 1993). More recently, these debates have gained greater prominence in the field of tourism research (Hollinshead 1996, 1999; Jamal and Hollinshead 2001; Riley 1996; Riley and Love 2000; Walle 1997; Dann 1996). Traditionally, qualitative research has been viewed somewhat simplistically as a set of different research methods that have certain features in common. In this respect, qualitative methods are employed to collect data about activities, events, occurrences and behaviours and to seek an understanding of actions, problems and processes in their social context. From this perspective, qualitative research is perceived as distinct from quantitative research as it does not produce quantified findings or have measurement and hypothesistesting as an integral part of the research process. When qualitative research is thought of as a series of methods, it is often considered to be an approach to research that is ‘other’ to quantitative research because quantitative data are not collected (Bryman and Burgess 1994). As such, qualitative research has been prone to criticisms that it is a ‘soft’,

‘non-scientific’ and inferior approach to studying social life, and one that is often seen as useful only when accompanied by, or as a precursor to, quantitative techniques (Guba and Lincoln 1998: 196). This attitude to qualitative research was observed by Riley and Love (2000) in their review of the methodological approaches employed in the study of tourism. However, the labelling of qualitative research as a poor alternative to ‘real’, rigorous, ‘scientific’, quantitative studies has been questioned over the past 25 years in many social science disciplines. Those who viewed qualitative research merely as a set of methods have been accused of having an oversimplified view that fails to acknowledge the multiplicity of forms and functions of qualitative research (Silverman 2000). Indeed, over the past few decades, using qualitative approaches to study social life has been considered more acceptable within the mainstream, rather than being viewed as an adjunct to quantitative work. In fact, qualitative research has become increasingly valued as thinking about research developed and research began to be viewed as more of a process than an activity, with discussions about the appropriateness of method being superseded by concerns with methodology (Bryman and Burgess 1994). While this mind shift has been under way in the social sciences generally, it is fair to say that tourism scholars have generally been more hesitant in their adoption and acceptance of qualitative research, and more specifically in developing their understanding of the philosophical and theoretical process that underpins knowledge production and practices.

Qualitative Research in Tourism While qualitative approaches are beginning to be more commonly used and accepted in tourism, discussions of research methods have rarely moved beyond practical considerations. To date there has been limited attention given to the underlying philosophical and theoretical underpin- nings that influence the research process. This book links the theory with research practice, to offer a more holistic account of how qualitative research can be used in tourism. Qualitative Research in Tourism is the first book to focus solely upon this subject. It combines discussions of the philosophies underpinning qualitative research, with chapters written in a reflexive style that demon- strate the ways in which the techniques can be used. The book is based on a range of empirical tourism studies set in the context of theoretical discus- sion. It demonstrates the benefits of using a range of qualitative approaches to research tourism, and the text explores the ways in which a number of techniques, including participant observation, memory-work, biographical diaries and focus groups, have been adopted by researchers from a range of disciplinary backgrounds to undertake empirical research in tourism. The book offers a range of case studies written by leading scholars from the United Kingdom, France, America, Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia. The book makes clear the ways in which these pieces of research have been informed by the authors’ ontological, epistemological and methodological standpoint. Qualitative Research in Tourism will be indispensable to any final-year undergraduates, masters’ and PhD students embarking on research in the field, and also academics with an interest in either tourism research or qualitative methodology. Jenny Phillimore is a Lecturer and Lisa Goodson is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Urban and Regional Studies, The University of Birming- ham. Contemporary geographies of leisure, tourism and mobility Series Editor: Michael Hall Professor at the Department of Tourism, University of Otago, New Zealand The aim of this series is to explore and communicate the intersections and relationships between leisure, tourism and human mobility within the social sciences. It will incorporate both traditional and new perspectives on leisure and tourism from contemporary geography, e.g. notions of identity, representation and culture, while also providing for perspectives from cognate areas such as anthropology, cultural studies, gastronomy and food studies, marketing, policy studies and political economy, regional and urban planning, and sociology, within the development of an integrated field of leisure and tourism studies. The series comprises two strands: Contemporary Geographies of Leisure, Tourism and Mobility aims to address the needs of students and academics, and the titles will be pub- lished in hardback and paperback. Titles include: The Moralisation of Tourism Sun, sand ... and saving the world? Jim Butcher The Ethics of Tourism Development Mick Smith and Rosaleen Duffy Tourism in the Caribbean Trends, development and prospects Edited by David Timothy Duval Qualitative Research in Tourism Ontologies, epistemologies and methodologies Edited by Jenny Phillimore and Lisa Goodson Routledge Studies in Contemporary Geographies of Leisure, Tourism and Mobility is a forum for innovative new research intended for research students and academics, and the titles will be available in hardback only.
