Abstract
Different types of contributions from regional science emerged as useful tools for the study of tourism in a wide spectrum of perspectives, since the analysis of physical geographical attributes of destinations to the study of immaterial aspects influencing their socio-economic performance. These theoretical, conceptual or methodological influences may focus on different aspects of tourism activities, planning and management, being supported by diverse quantitative and qualitative approaches. With an extensive work in regional science and tourism studies, Peter Nijkamp has largely contributed for the symbiotic interactions between these fields of research over the last decades. Assuming the multidisciplinary character of research in both fields, this perspective article discusses how different academic disciplines contribute for the creation of synergies between tourism studies and regional science, by analysing objectives, methodologies and approaches developed or applied by Peter Nijkamp and his extensive global network of collaborators. The importance of institutional aspects for the creation and consolidation of these networks is also addressed.
