Abstract

There has been attention to many specific academic processes in tourism research but there is little analysis of the role and style of questions at academic conferences. The study addresses this forgotten but prominent component of tourism researchers' efforts. The work is based on 63 examples of questions from 45 papers drawn from meetings across three continents. A category scheme to describe the questions was developed. Drawing on the categories of questions observed, the paper discusses question time as a sometimes challenging dramaturgical event, and argues that question time deserves more analysis as a feedback and quality control device for tourism research.
