  • While tourism knowledge is expanding, the scholarly production of tourism academicians working outside English-speaking systems still remains partly unexplored. This paper is an attempt to address this gap in knowledge as it aims to compare the scholarly production of Englishspeaking and non-English-speaking systems. More specifically, this article reviews the published academic work produced in English-speaking and three non-English-speaking systems (France, Iran, and Italy). Overall, our analysis unveils a rather fragmented scenario as the tourism knowledge produced and published in the four systems has been shaped by different power structures. However, the findings also show common patterns, such as the predominant role of business-related studies over socio-cultural approaches to tourism in all the systems.
