“…Together with these aspects, we need also a better characterisation of the different elements of the networks (both actors and relationships) under study and to improve our ability to connect these with the topological features (as a recent example, see Stienmetz and Fesenmaier, 2017). In fact, although interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity are commonly deemed crucial for tourism studies, practice shows that these are confined in a relatively close set of competencies, all belonging to the broad area of social sciences, while little presence of more technical skills exist (Volgger and Pechlaner, 2015).…”

Purpose In recent years, network science has become a dynamic and promising discipline. This study aims to provide a brief summary of the subject and the application to the tourism domain. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on a non-exhaustive survey of the literature. Findings The state-of-the-art of network science in tourism is explored and discussed, together with possible future developments. Research limitations/implications This paper uses a limited set of works, those deemed the most significant to sketch the situation. The choice might be subjective, but the overall picture is clear. Given what accomplished so far, the methods of network science seem interesting both for their theoretical and practical outcomes. In essence, they provide a better and more objective view on the structural and dynamic characteristics of the tourism phenomenon and of the different tourism systems and components. Originality/value This paper critically reflects on the state of network science and its application to the tourism domain. Even without claiming to be complete, this paper takes a general perspective approach rather than examining single topics or issues.
