Our paper Buliding a Decommodified Research Paradigm in Tourism: the contribution of NGO's argued that western, neoliberal, free market paradigms continue to dominate the tourism research agenda. It was contended that alternative research paradigms are needed to enrich the field and to provide new ways of seeing, researching and doing tourism. Decommodified research paradigms based upon feminist theory, ecocentrism, community development and post-structuralism, were put forward as the contribution of NGO's int this area. A decommodified approach to tourism research opens the way for exploration of tourism's potential to provide the means for community defined and community-driven development and conservation. THe paper called for the widening of the paradigmatic scope of tourism research in order to provide a mode of understanding that is more equitable then simple economically rational exploitation of an experiential commodity.
