Introduction: (Brief background, purpose of the assignment, A brief outline of the
whole project. moreover to write the introduction, you may follow assignment in

cover in your whole assignment..words 500)
Brief background means covering about what is Tourism research? with different

our understanding of tourism has become fetishized as a thing, a product, a behaviour but in
particular an economic thing. Franklin and Crang (2001:6) also criticize a tendency for studies [of
tourism researchers] to follow a template, Botterill (2001:199) suggested that the assumptions
that underlie social science research in tourism are seldom made explicit and Jamal and
Hollinshead (2001) adverted to the underserved power of qualitative inquiry in tourism research.
Tourism research indicates the critical information of strategic of the division in terms of Tourism
which also denotes the divisions communications, both tourism advocacy and customer services
efforts which are highly interrelated with the ongoing analysis of Tourism research. In fact, it is
connected to the tourism research efforts in view of early analysis of the field of tourism where
commentators perhaps pessimistic and premature (Tribe, 1997).The core interest in conducting the
tourism research is to measure the both size and growth of the travel and tourism sites in the world,
even newly emerged any tourism sectors in view of critically analysis to understand the economic
condition either based on present or future tourism development.
Tourism research is an important and growing segments of the research which helps

Tourism research is also done to improve the image of the tourist destination and
build a positive image of the tourist spot.
Tourism research or studies is undertaken to develop and promote tourism. It is also
done for understanding the needs of tourists.
Purpose of the assignment:


With reference to the assignment, the purpose focuses critical theory which is useful
to think critically around the things and issues to understand the scenario precisely
which extends to knowledge towards later on the Tourism theory. In addition to,
theory gives analyzing power to think critically to broaden up mind from the different
angles in relation to two standard criteria; what is happening and how it is
happening. Later on, there also highlights to understand the Tourism research
methodologies. Furthermore, the academic research methodology indicates the tool
set of methods, guidelines, procedures etc where it is conducive to the researchers
to facilitate data regarding the research area. In terms of tourism research, there
commonly agrees on the criteria or elements which should be accounted for by the
methodology in view of taking the tourism research seriously(Aden Williamson, 2002).
Henceforth, it also emphasizes on how they have impact on the tourism research
with the help of describing both the qualitative and the quantitative research
methodologies along with other techniques involved.

in essence to, structure or outline of the assignment under the literature section
gives the idea at the very outset that how it provides critical and focuses evaluation
in case of critical theory in tourism research and how critical theory got influenced
over the tourism research. It also establishes the relationship between critical theory
and different types of philosophies for the sake of developing the tourism research.
There also discloses research methodologies which indicate the debates over the
advantages and disadvantages of these methodologies to use the suitable one in
respect of tourism research. There also describes the data analysis techniques which
include the qualitative and quantitative techniques as well, even if there involved any
limitation. Later on, in course of describing the whole tasks from the very beginning
which lead to final discussion or conclusion where an effective conclusion follows
logical main points or arguments explaining from the overall discussion of the
assignment including the recommendation raises in literature review section









Literature review
Few discussion about literature review: (how methods chosen, why not othersthis one will be
covered later on in 100words)
Critical Theory: (under this section, first keeps describing what is critical theory then make a bridge
or connection Critical tourism theory by describing. Must be used text citation)
Richard Wolin writes (pg.1),

"Conceived in the 1930s, Critical Theory aimed at a balance integration of philosophy and
the social sciences. In the words of spiritus rector Max Horkheimer, its goal was the pursuit
of 'interdisciplinary materialism.' Traditionally, philosophy reasoned about values or ultimate
ends. Yet, to its detriment, it neglected the sphere of reality or concrete existence in terms of
which alone its ideals might become genuinely meaningful or lived. The social sciences, for
their part, squandered their energies in an unreflective pursuit of 'facts.' Their antipathy to
'values' - a legacy of positivism - meant that frequently the data they produced bore little
relationship to genuine human needs. Worse still, their fetishization of expertise was often
antidemocratic and abetted the forces of political technocracy."
Marcuse explains the critical theory
"To investigate the roots of these developments and examine their historical alternatives is
part of the aim of a critical theory of contemporary society, a theory which analyzes society
in the light of its used and unused or abused capabilities for improving the human condition.
But what are the standards for such a critique?

Critical theory is about communication, the core concepts in relation to
organizational structure, attempt to improve organizational settings by
leveling the domineering forces of upper management and owners to level
to workers and improve the work environment for better production. Critical
theorists attempt to educate about the ways in which organizational
structures become so unjust. They are interested in the exercise of power
in all forms and at all levels, and the way in which power manifests itself
completely.

Critical theorists help us understand that certain patterns of behavior
develop within organized settings. These ideologies create deep structures
within organizations leading to a confusion of what is moral, acceptable or
normal. Four different functions of ideology help us understand critical
theory in the organizational setting, the first is that the representation of
sectional interests as universal. Thus meaning that the management of a
particular group controls what important interests are dealt with, the
management deems these actions to be in the best interest of everyone,
even if this is not the case (Modaff, Butler, and DeWine, 116). The second
function is that there is a denial or transmutation of contradictions, meaning
that some members of the organization give up their right to vote, meaning
that only a group of a few people determine decisions that affect everyone
(Modaff, Butler, and DeWine, 116). The third function is the naturalization
of the present through reification, meaning that reality ceases to exist. In
other words, certain socially constructed groups, such as an all male
management team, or a management team of individuals all over forty
become objective or unchangeable. This socially unchangeable rule
benefits those decision makers located at the top of the hierarchy (Modaff,
Butler, and DeWine, 116). Finally, the fourth function is ideology as a
means of control, meaning that the workers are working to...
Critical Tourism Theory and the Research Philosophies or brifly discuss, developments in Tourism
research: (i put here two subheading guys, you may choose one of them.must use text citation)
The development of critical theory was an attempt to come to terms with the fogged survival of
capitalism and the rise of an authoritarian society.
Jurgen Habermas extended critical theory into new spheres when he began his examination of inter
subjective communication. He examined consciousness and the effects of bureaucratic systems on
social life in his famous theory of communicative action(1981)
