چکیده
The aim of this article is to provide an overview of hospitality research and how it has developed over the last thirty years. To do this, the state of hospitality research is briefly reviewed and Veal’s (2002) analysis of leisure studies is presented. Hospitality is then compared with leisure studies in order to identify similarities and differences. This comparison then leads to the identification of alternative schools of thought within hospitality, which are described and critiqued. The article ends with some conclusions about the state of hospitality research.
