Baum's 2007 agenda was selective and made no claim to be
comprehensive. The analysis in Table 3 points to the continuing
significance of the issues that he identified at that time and highlights
their further evolution. Interestingly, none of the issues
covered has faded to a level of limited or no significance. However,
taking analysis beyond the agenda identified in 2007, further systematic
and comprehensive review of the extant literature leads to
the identification of further, emergent themes that merit inclusion
in this reflection on the state of HRM in tourism. As with the previous
list (Table 3), the choice of these themes is, inevitably, selective
but, collectively, the combined outcome of the 2007 and
2015 analyses provide a strong basis from which to extrapolate a
meaningful picture of work in the global tourism industry.
