Conclusion [Qualitative methods in tourism research: Theory and practice]
Many perceptions of and insights on qualitative research exist, with
opposing assertions about what is perceived as useful and significant
work. Instead of selecting the principles upheld by one method, 'model',
'snapshot' or alliance within qualitative research, active researchers can
uncover useful exawples from each paradigm. This is because qualitative
research is technique based and somewhat separate from the requirement
to put an end to metaphysical debates. Simultaneously, methodological
perception is a constructive conceptual resource in research investigations.
It can be attained by introduction to nearly any intellectual methodological
debate, whether from constructivist, naturalistic, positivist or postmodern
paradigms, in addition to the detailed reflection of research inquiries
undertaken by others. Specific procedures created initially to meet
the constraints of distinct concepts can sometimes be utilised for other
objectives and from inside other concepts if necessary (Seale, 1999: 465).
