Hospitality has often been conceived primarily as a supporting component of the tourism product. This commentary synthesises inter and multidisciplinary literature to examine alternative and more complex intersections of hospitality and tourism. It discusses four thematic areas of hospitality research: labour; the transformation of place (experiences); socio-material and socio-technological practice; and human encounters. It argues that applying hospitality as a sensitising concept in these domains of enquiry, and studying hospitality’s abstract and concrete dimensions, enhances our understanding of tourism as socio-economic phenomena and a global system, and helps to appreciate tourism’s implications for multiple stakeholders. Moreover, it proposes a range of questions for future research.

接待通常被认为主要是旅游产品的支持部分。该评论综合了跨学科和多学科的文献，以研究款待和旅游业的替代性和更为复杂的交叉。它讨论了款待研究的四个主题领域：劳动，劳动和就业。场所的转变（经验）；社会物质和社会技术实践；和人类的相遇 它认为，在这些研究领域中将接待作为一种敏感的概念，并研究接待的抽象和具体方面，可以增进我们对旅游业作为社会经济现象和全球体系的理解，并有助于理解旅游业对多个利益相关者的影响。此外，它提出了一系列问题，以供将来研究。
