Neste livro, três pontos "importam aos leitores ávidos e interessados pelo assunto. O primeiro é o resgate histórico da trajetória do ensino superior e da pesquisa científica sobre Turismo, que parecem nos manter acanhados e algemados em paradigmas ultrapassados, armadilhas políticas e grilhões discursivos retrógrados, equivocados ou colonizadores. O segundo é o levantamento, análise e discussão do pensamento de vinte e dois autores que estabeleceram e marcaram o campo do Turismo brasileiro no período de 1970 a 2022, em um debate profícuo entre a teoria e a prática, descortinando a multiplicidade de olhares e questionando o distanciamento entre o que se pesquisa e o que se pratica. E o terceiro é a apresentação de um modelo investigativo assentado nas lacunas encontradas sobre as pesquisas com a proposta de soluções, um verdadeiro presente ao leitor, além do esperado. Com argúcia e ousadia, os autores apresentam um modelo teórico a ser testado na prática, firmando um compromisso conosco para integrar a geração do conhecimento e a aplicação na realidade, um desafio para nós, estudiosos e pensadores do Turismo brasileiro." Profa. Dra. Mirian Rejowski
