Summary:The present CIT review letter explores the ebbs and flows of tourism theory and practice. With a focus on tourism etymology and epistemology, I stress on the urgency and obsession for tourism theorists to calibrate efforts to make a substantiated discipline that has lost sight of the tourism nature.
