Abstract
Triangulation is starting to emerge in tourism research as the 'new' method. However, there are many misconceptions of what triangulation is and what it can do. This paper discusses triangulation as a research method in the social sciences. It reflects on the origins of the term and what it currently denotes and what it should connote. It also covers the critiques of triangulation and eventually suggests how it should be used. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
