A trace of this central European heritage can be found in the former Yugoslavia, where Jovicˇic´ was a supporter of this conceptualization with his discussed Turizmologija (1972) and there was even a chair of tourismology at the university of Belgrade for two decades (Vukonic´ in this volume). Yet, in spite of their Swiss matrix, Krippendorf and Mu¨ller are against a proper tourismology (tourist science) since they argue that tourism, like any other applied science should acknowledge the epistemological contributions of other fields of knowledge (Krippendorf 1997; Mu¨ller 2002).
Around this time also, there appeared a special issue of the journal, Communications, and with it, some extremely interesting, though surprisingly neglected reflections by the likes of Burgelin (1967) and Gritti (1967) on the notion of tourism as an agent of social control (Dann 1996a). A few years later, in 1975, she was appointed charge´e, and with the responsibility came the opportunities for assembling Setting the Scene 35 her own research team, this time in the field of tourism, which in 1976 became known as the Unite´ de Recherche en la Sociologie du Tourisme International (URESTI) (Unit for Research on the Sociology of Tourism).
In this book, notwithstanding those sections devoted to the economics and politics of tourism, there was an explicitly sociological chapter dealing with the effects of tourism. Here relationships and potential international approaches played a significant role. There was also an important attempt to explore the customarily neglected topic of motivation. In the framework of ‘‘relationships’’ attention was paid not only to tourists and locals, but also to places of origin and to tourist destinations.
