Resumen
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 superspecialization, 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.
