Abstract

This paper positions tourism economics within the broader realm of economics, thus contributing to the discussion on the multidisciplinarity and/or interdisciplinarity of this field of study. Our thesis recalls the distinction between genre discipline and species discipline, proper of hard sciences and concludes that tourism studies are a discipline, not of the species nor of the genre type, but as a convergence discipline of species disciplines belonging to different genre disciplines.
