Tourism Planning and Development

Aims & Scope

Tourism Planning and Development (TPD) aims to explore and advance our theoretical and practical understandings of the intersections between tourism, planning and development studies.

Each of these fields of study is characterised by rich scholarly and interdisciplinary traditions.

TPD seeks to leverage these and other complementary scholarly traditions to build new interdisciplinary understandings in tourism planing and development.

In a rapidly changing and uncertain world, tourism planning and development processed are being shaped by globalisation, public, private and third sector management and governance.

In some cases, communities, societies, governments, and non-government organisations.

In doing so, the Journal seeks to engage and challenge readers by asking What can/should we do about tourism planning and development?

Who can/should be taking responsibility for tourism planning and development?

Research investigating the nature, characteristics, processes, impacts and effects of tourism planning and development in the 21st century is welcome.

Research exploring the key uncertainties between politics, society, culture and the environment, or scrutinising the shifting configurations of tourism and its social and economic logics are also particularly welcome.

Contributions to TPD may deal with locations at various stages of social, cultural and economics development, and be directed at exploring international, national, regional, or local scales.

They may examine local and transnational mobilities and/or development processes, and may critically engage with developing-developed-emerging economies' dichotomies.
