Analytical and critical registration of articles contained in this journal, in which the existence of pedagogical considerations on tourism were found. Results. Demonstration of the established fact that in the tourist journal, pedagogical content appears in trace amounts. Indication that in some circles distant from pedagogy, the problems taken up, potentially include (!) – fields, in which the pedagogue-axiologist’s research interference is not only possible, but it would be socially useful. Sometimes - necessary. Research and conclusions limitations. A small, too small, number of quoted examples of articles that do not contain any educational or upbringing-related intentions, in which content can be demonstrated (in an unverified form), the possibility or the need for scientific pedagogical reflection. Practical implications.

Originality. In addition to articles with a strictly pedagogical profile, the work also includes texts on potential pedagogical values, often not even indicated by the authors. Type of work. The article is of review nature.
