Despite the geometric expansion of tourism knowledge, some areas have remained stubbornly underdeveloped and a full or comprehensive consideration of the philosophical issues of tourism represents one such significant knowledge gap.

Why are some destinations considered beautiful? Why is tourism desirable? What is good and bad tourism? What are desirable ends? These and similar topics are addressed this book under the headings of truth, beauty and virtue.

Turismo internacional: fluxos, destinos e integração regional
O livro "Turismo internacional: fluxos, destinos e integração regional”, escrito pelos professores Vitor Stuart Gabriel de Pieri e Alexandre Panosso Netto, trata-se da décima terceira obra didática da Coleção “Comunicação & Políticas Públicas”, a qual objetiva estimular o desenvolvimento de pesquisas com a correspondente publicização dos conhecimentos científicos. Organizada com objetivos claramente didáticos, assim preenchendo uma grave lacuna bibliográfica, esta obra possibilitará educadores, estudantes, policymakers e um amplo público em geral a apreender conhecimentos sobre o turismo internacional. Com base em três linhas básicas de análise (fluxos de turistas, destinos turísticos e mecanismos de integração regional), o objetivo do livro é abordar o turismo em sua interface com o tripé das relações internacionais - economia, política e direito internacional - na tentativa de refletir sobre as diversas dimensões do setor numa macro escala nacional, subcontinental e global.
FILOSOFIA DO TURISMO
O autor busca refletir sobre algumas questões a respeito do turismo - 'O que significa dizer que o turismo é um fenômeno?'; 'Qual a essência do turismo?'; 'Podemos dizer que os estudos turísticos já se constituem numa ciência?'. Além disso, propõe a criação da teorografia, sugerindo o uso da filosofia para a efetivação desta proposta.
TEORIA DO TURISMO
Escrito e organizado para ser uma ferramenta de consulta e pesquisa, o livro apresenta 73 conceitos, modelos e sistemas relacionados ao turismo e áreas afins. Para estudantes, o texto apresenta um panorama dos principais itens a serem examinados nos cursos técnicos e superiores de turismo e hotelaria; para os profissionais mais experientes, é uma oportunidade de reciclagem, aprofundamento e aplicabilidade dos conhecimentos adquiridos na Academia e no próprio mercado de trabalho.
