Working Paper n°1: Analysis of statistical datasets and actors of the quantification of tourism. Methodological propositionsDownload
How exactly is tourism quantified? The project aims at answering this question, not only through the most complete and most detailed possible overview of statistical datasets and producers, but also through the analysis of the contexts, practices, and decisions of human actors who make or use these statistics.
This first working paper lays out the research protocol which will allow us to answer this question.
