Abstract

The research material used consists in articles on conscious travel, hopeful tourism, transformational tourism/travel, transformative tourism, transformative travel, and transmodern tourism, analysed from a terminological point of view. An attempt is made to clarify if all these concepts and terms overlap from the perspective of their meaning.
