in the OIC Member Countries

Methodology

Initial research for the report was carried out using secondary sources available through academic

and professional databases, including accessing recent and key articles and reports from leading

academic journals and tourism organisations such as those listed above. The findings of the

literature review were illustrated and enhanced by a multi-stage approach to eight case study

countries. This phase of the study included further secondary research into relevant academic

papers and professional reports relating to the case study countries, field trips to four of the

countries, and interviews with key informants both in these countries and in the case of case study

countries which were not visited. The findings of both the overall literature review and case study

reviewwere triangulated by carrying out a survey of tourismbusinesses and organisations located

in the eight case study countries.
