RODRIGUES LEAL, Sergio. Maturity Levels in Tourism Research in Brazil an Around the World. Estud. perspect. tur. [online]. 2006, vol.15, n.1, pp.81-91. ISSN 1851-1732.

Tourism education and research are reasonably recent in the academy. Through the analysis of three indicators pre‑established by the author (specialized publications, distinguished researchers and academic conferences), this paper aims to critique the level of academic maturity of tourism education in Brazil and in countries with a greater tradition in its offering.

Keywords : Tourism research; Academic maturity; Brazilian versus international perspectives.
