Abstract

This paper analyses the institutionalization process –habitualization, objectivation and sed-imentation (Berger & Luckmann, 1966)– of the Formal Structures of Tourism Research (FSTR) in Brazil, guided by the institutional theoretical lenses, in its sociological perspective. This is a descriptive and explanatory census research. Empirically, secondary data was col-lected from all 234 FSTR existing since 1964 and active in 2016 in the CNPq (Science and Technology Council) directory of research groups, elected as the most representative type of FSTR in the previous survey (Pimentel, 2016). The data was submitted to the quantitative statistical method using the SPSS software and qualitatively by the contend analyses tech-nique. It was identified 3 main periods regarding the FSTR institutionalization process in Brazil: the first one (1964-2001), the Habitualization, higher education courses were created for the training in tourism, the theme "tourism" was expanded in the academic environment and it was observed its insertion as a line of research. The second one, Objectivation (2002-2009), the theme was consolidated through the creation of specific groups of research, in a huge expansion. The third one (2010-nowdays), there is a sedimentation of the FSTR, the contingent of tourism graduation, with masters and doctorates, inserted in High Education Institutions as teacher-researchers, and new generations of researchers are beginning to form. However, the full institutionalization process requires the intergenerational transmis-sion of the objective structures, as well as the symbolic references of knowledge generation.
