旅游业的定性研究经常被指责忽视了“好”科学的原则。造成这种情况的主要原因有两个。一方面，实证主义仍然是旅游研究许多领域的主流范式。另一方面，定性研究人员常常无法解释他们的方法如何以及为何是合理的。这会导致混乱和误解。本文列出了评估定性研究可信度的基本标准，并提出了三角测量作为实施这些标准的方法。为了完善佐证和验证的概念，三角测量包括通过表明几个独立来源趋于一致或至少不反对它们来加强定性发现。登津的四种基本类型的三角测量（即数据、方法、研究者和理论三角测量）通过适当的旅游例子进行了描述和说明。 (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Qualitative research in tourism is often blamed for missing the tenets of 'good' science. There are two major reasons for this. On one hand, positivism is still the prevailing paradigm in many areas of tourism research. On the other hand, qualitative researchers often fail to explain how and why their methods are sound. This results in confusion and misunderstandings. In this paper, basic criteria to assess the trustworthiness of a qualitative study are listed, and triangulation is proposed as a way to implement them. Refining the concepts of corroboration and validation, triangulation consists of strengthening qualitative findings by showing that several independent sources converge on them, or at least, do not oppose them. Denzin's four basic types of triangulation (i.e. data, method, investigator and theoretical triangulation) are described and illustrated by appropriate tourism examples.
