Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This viewpoint looks at the evolution of the study of tourism geography as a discipline from its inception in the late 1950s, until current-day publications and foci. The study of tourism geography commenced with strong geographical influences: mainly environmental and economic. An analysis of the publications of the University of Quebec in Montreal’s Transat Chair in tourism is carried out resulting in highlighting of key aspects of tourism interest in the province over the past 30 years. It is interesting to note that in the context of tourism geography in Quebec, the two original approaches, environmental and economic, are still very prominent. So much so, that an argument can be made that given the stressors of modern-day society, in particular Covid-19 and climate change, the importance of economic and environmental aspects of tourism geography in Quebec are now more important than ever, and it is likely that the future direction of tourism research relates closely to these fields.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
