Tourism, Culture and Communication

Aims & Scope

Tourism, Culture & Communication is the longest established international refereed journal that is dedicated to the cultural dimensions of tourism.

The editors adopt a purposefully broad scope that welcomes readers and contributors from diverse disciplines and who are receptive in a wide variety of research methods.

While potential cultural issues and identities are unlimited, there is a requirement that their consideration should relate to the tourism and hospitality domain.

Tourism, Culture & Communication provides readers with multidisciplinary perspectives that consider topics and fields extending beyond national and indigenous cultures as they are traditionally understood and recognized.

Coverage may extend to issues such as cultural dimensions of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), gender and tourism, managing tourists with disabilities, sport tourism, or age-specific tourism.

Contributions that draw upon the communications literature to explain the tourism phenomenon are also particularly welcome.

Beyond the focus on culture and communications, the editors recognize the important interrelationships with economies, society, politics, and the environment.

The journal publishes high-quality research and applies a double-blind refereeing process.

Tourism, Culture & Communication consists of main articles, major thematic reviews, position papers on theory and practice, and substantive case studies.

A reports section covers specific initiatives and projects, “hot topics,” work-in-progress, and critical reviews.
