Abstract
There has been a lot of debate on ‘good’ teaching and core curricula in tourism, but few inquiries into the relationship between teaching, scholarship, and research in this subject from the viewpoint of both the ‘student’ and the ‘teacher’. This is partly due to lack of understanding of inter-disciplinarity and multi-disciplinarity required to be a good teacher, and absence of holism that is the sine qua non of tourism studies. These limitations are also a result of the fact that, in this age of specialization and super- specialization, broad as well as in-depth study of the parent disciplines is difficult and often not undertaken, but culminates in a limited understanding of the emerging discipline of tourism studies, which is expanding its frontiers rapidly and requires both specialization and generalization.
