dc.description.abstractIf I understand correctly, Sagar Singh argues that the concept of carrying capacity has the potential to be a key unifying theme in tourism research. He thinks that it was introduced too early to be accepted, and abandoned before its potential was realised. And he argues that the concept of a stable carrying capacity can be reconciled with the concept of an evolving destination area, by subdividing carrying capacities into different types and timescales. His rationale, which I fully endorse, is that tourism research is far too heavily influenced by postmodernism, post-structuralism and similar constructs in the academic social sciences, which have little to do with the realities of tourism either as a commercial business or an individual activity. Selling goods and services to people travelling for social reasons – it’s not that complicated a concept, surely.
