Abstract
The article has as objective the critical reflexive exercise on the importance of knowledgeconstruction in tourism from a scientific perspective. Some polemics and proposals fromauthors who approach tourism from a more conventional point of view discarding itspossibility as discipline and science are reviewed along with the view of those who approachtourism from a more anti-positivist position, in which they revalue the notion of tourism asscience. An anti-positivist view surpasses the positivist formal part, which offers thepossibility of qualifying tourism as science that under hermeneutical, phenomenological,dialectical or critical dimensions the revaluing of scientific knowledge of tourism allows oneto recognize that there are communities, themes and procedures on how to investigate, whichalso allow observing interventions in reality.
