چکیده
The economics of tourism is a well-known concept in the theory of tourism. However, scientific positions which have attempted to define the concept in different periods have not only differed, but have even been contradictory. In the countries of East Europe, the concept of economics of tourism has existed since the end of World War II. Western tourism literature began to use the term only at the end of the 20th century, but a defined position on this, let alone a consensus, has still not been found. This paper presents a retrospective of scientific views on the economics of tourism over the last sixty years and polemically discusses the views published in the International Handbook on the Economics of Tourism (L.Dwyer and P. Forsyth).
