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. Over years, scholars have enthusiastically theorized on the tourism nature as a growing industry, associated with a complex socio-economic background. Citing Tribe, the managerial gaze not only monopolized a whole portion of published material but also set the agenda in tourism epistemology. From its inception, tourism research was based on three clear paradigms which today should be at least revisited
