This involves secondary research (using other people’s research rather than collecting new data yourself) that you have sourced and deemed of a suitable quality (from a reputable source), summarized and synthesized. o sustainability (define), the state of the sustainable tourism market and any emerging trends; A broad range of journal articles and newspaper/magazine articles and industry reports should all be accessed and correctly referenced in text and in a separate reference section at the end of your report. How to Conduct a Literature Review For each topic you are conducting a literature review on, begin by finding at least three and preferably five or more suitable pieces of literature to include. Before you include a piece of literature in your review be sure it is: highly relevant to the topic, objective and unbiased, accurate, well written, from a reliable source, and recent (or at least still relevant). Once you have sourced your literature, and before your begin writing your literature review, summarize each study’s main findings. Then, look across the summaries and think about the following questions: • What key themes have emerged? • What do the studies disagree and agree on? • Is there any consensus in the literature? • Are there any gaps in it? • How does the information on this topic relate to the larger assignment? Your answers to these questions should guide your write up of the review of the literature.
