Introduction to tourism design and design science in tourism

Daniel R. Fesenmaier Zheng Xiang

pp. 3-16

Abstract

This chapter introduces design science in tourism (DST) as a framework which can guide both the theoretical foundations and applications in tourism design. It is argued that since 1972 when Clare Gunn first published Vacationsape huge progress has been made which now provides the theory and tools needed to support DST. This chapter discusses the concept of DST and the tools available to support tourism design. Finally, it introduces the chapters comprising this book which set the stage for the development of tourism design within today's cultural and technological contexts.
