Time and tourism attraction

The purpose of this theoretical research note is to establish a link between the works of Leiper (1990) [Tourist Attraction Systems. Annals of Tourism Research, 17, 367–384] and Caccomo and Solonandrasana (2002) [Réflexions autour du Concept d’Attraction Touristique: Analyse et Taxonomie. Revue de Recherche en Tourisme UQAM (Canada), 3, 68–71] on tourist attraction theory. More precisely, this note shows that these two classifications can be linked by a common unit of measurement: time. In this way a contribution is made to tourist attraction theory.
