Overview
This book for the first time critically reviews tourism debates surrounding the emerging market of scientific and research oriented tourism. Section 1 sets the stage of the discourse of scientific research in tourism; Section 2 evaluates the key players of scientific tourism and Section 3 contains case studies documenting the niche of researchers as travelers in a range of geographical locations. The title's multidisciplinary approach raises many issues including the role of science tourism in tourism development and expansion, the impacts of scientific and research-based tourism, travel behaviors and motivations of researchers to name but a few.
