Abstract
A discussion of the nature of tourism planning suggests the need for a new model of the planning process. With this purpose in mind the nature and role of models are discussed, followed by a survey of models of a theoretical and planning nature in the tourism literature. Based on systems theory, a model is presented which shows how planning and theory can be integrated. An area–tourism planning example is developed to illustrate application of the integrated approach.Keywords
