This critical book review scrutinizes the recent project of Donna Chambers & Tijana Rakic, entitled Tourism research frontiers. As the name indicates, this book explores the needs of finding new themes of investigations in tourism fields in a every changing world. However, this falls in abstract generalizations, which unfortunatelly obscure more than they clarify. Though epistemologists do not agree, tourism faces one of its most serious crisis of meaning. Instead of reviewing the pillars and backbone of the discipline, tourism scholars look for new themes. but here is where a question arises, is it appropriate to build up a next floor if the house rests on shaky grounds?.
