Tourism is in a constant state of change, yet little attention has been paid to those aspects of tourism which have disappeared, become lost or absent. This article addresses this research gap. Inspired by an exhibition by the artist Ellen Harvey, it adopts a conceptual research method informed by empirical and philosophical analysis. Its original contribution is threefold. First it offers a novel research method based on data from Harvey's exhibition and including hyperlinks to access the art. Second it offers a detailed conceptualisation of lost tourism which includes its meaning, typology and the causes and consequences of this phenomenon. Finally practical implications are considered including the need to identify, evaluate and where appropriate prevent or remediate tourism's losses.

旅游业处于不断变化的状态，但很少有人关注旅游业那些已经消失、丢失或缺席的方面。本文解决了这一研究空白。受到艺术家艾伦·哈维（Ellen Harvey）展览的启发，它采用了基于实证和哲学分析的概念研究方法。它最初的贡献是三重的。首先，它提供了一种基于哈维展览数据的新颖研究方法，包括访问艺术作品的超链接。其次，它提供了迷失旅游的详细概念，包括其含义、类型以及这种现象的原因和后果。最后考虑了实际影响，包括需要识别、评估并在适当情况下预防或补救旅游业的损失。
