The sociology of tourism as a scientific field is still quite young and is in the process of formation. The process of defining, formulating and clarifying the content of the main essential features and characteristics, conceptual and categorical apparatus describing this branch of sociological knowledge is underway. The definition of tourism sociology as a science and academic discipline, which is presented in domestic and foreign sources on tourism studies and sociology, is further clarified. The authors have positioned the sociology of tourism as a branch sociological theory of the middle level, which, using its inherent sociological methods, studies the social phenomenon of tourism in the totality of its manifestations: tourist activity and behaviour, tourist groups and organisations, social systems and the social institution of tourism.
For students of tourism, tourism management, hotel and restaurant management, sociologists and social workers. For those working in the field of sociology and tourism studies.
