In this paper, two specific issues were addressed regarding the development of tourism studies in Korea; 1) Does a discipline of tourism exist?; 2) What did the 'Journal of Tourism Sciences' do for the development of tourism studies as an academic discipline? By examining articles published in both ‘Annals of Tourism Research’ and ‘Journal of Tourism Science’ from 2007 to 2008, this paper identified the differences in research methodologies and topics. As a leading journal with the longest history in tourism academic society in Korea, this study suggested the “Journal of Tourism Sciences” should define its nature more clearly and indicate its relevance to the readers, and guide them to examine a wider variety of subject areas related to the tourism phenomenon with a more solid theoretical and methodological orientation.
