Méthodes informatiques et quantitatives en histoire du tourisme. Le cas suisse

Abstract

Although it is still a lesser-known aspect of general historiography, the history of tourism in Switzerland has been the subject of several studies using IT and quantitative approaches. They underline the relevance of getting into the game, even if it is not necessarily easy for those who do not have sufficient knowledge of IT or statistics. Three approaches will be developed here: a textual and linguistic approach; a purely quantitative approach; and a visual and textual approach. These choices are not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to highlight some of the research carried out individually or collectively in various academic centres.
