Do researchers discover destination knowledge or create it? This question has been at the heart of our discussions since 2009 and gradually, through conferences and lab meetings, travel writing has emerged as both a method of inquiry for us in tourism and area studies and as a professional practice for the synthesis of new knowledge, thanks, often, to the use of narrative.  This travel writing blog TRAVEL WRITERS ONLINE is our discovery instrument and, we hope, a research practice that will yield new knowledge on place, destination image, visitor practices and literary tourism.
