Abstract
The most reputable publications have long ignored the French anthropology of tourism. The science of tourism appears to be contaminated by the subject's lack of legitimacy and has trouble getting beyond the specialised-mostly Anglophone-publications, which lead the way in scientific writing. However, the recent publication of articles on the anthropology of tourism in a number of general interest publications, demonstrates that this long-neglected field is flourishing. By examining three francophone journals {Autrepart, Actes de la recherche en sciences sociales and Civilisations), this bibliographical record outlines a few of the trends that are currently in vogue in tourism research, and stresses the importance of this discipline in understanding contemporary phenomena.
