Diverse developments in travel and tourism marketing: a thematic approach

Abstract

Reviews developments in travel and tourism marketing as reflected by articles published in the Journal of Travel and Tourism Marketing over a four‐year period from the journal’s inception in 1992‐1995. Identifies five main themes (economic psychology, market segmentation and travel patterns, strategic marketing, technological advances and travel and tourism communications) and related subthemes that portray a pattern of diverse research and development relating to the practice of travel and tourism marketing.
