Re-thinking the Epistemology of Paradigm in Hospitality and Tourism

Abstract

The social transformation includes changes that occur in society's modes of production, institutions, values, and lifestyles, without development and progress, in the form of differentiation from the previous state of being or way of being. This change is the qualitative differentiation that occurs in the social structure. We aim to draw attention to the fact that the phenomenon of tourism sociology should be a new research sub-discipline with the development of modernism and technology. We discuss the necessity of focusing on the changes in the tourism phenomenon during the rapid and difficult transition of a new paradigm.
