Abstract

This paper examines the 'current-state-of-the-art' of hospitality research. It is argued that hospitality research has yet to reach a state of maturity and that no clear articulation exists as to its role, content and future direction. These issues are discussed and a number of suggestions are made as to how hospitality research might be advanced towards maturity.
