= Photography in Tourism Research: Tourism Literature Review from 1979 to 2017 =

Virdee's (2017) literature review of the use of photography in tourism from 1979 to 2017 revealed that the overall publications in the field  of  photographic  tourism  increased  after  1997,  with  a  notable  rise  in  tourism management  research  in  this  area. Tourist perceptions,  tourist  behaviours  and  destination image were the most frequently researched topics. Literature material was generally preferred over tourist samples. Purposive sampling was the most common sampling method. The main photographic data  collection  method  was  researcher-found  imagery. Many studies  used interviews  as  an accompanying  method. Critical analysis  was  more  common  in  North American research while statistical approaches were employed more often in Asian studies.
