Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyse some of the central themes resulting from research conducted in the field of tourism as well as to identify emerging patterns in the research. To achieve this aim, four main themes were identified which reflected the host communities’ perception towards the impact of tourism development, the decisionon travel and destinations, souvenirs and artefacts, and tourism planning. The paper concludes with a summary of the key implications of the themes analysed for the development of tourism policies.
