About the Journal

Tourism isn’t just about destinations; it’s about people, economies, and ecosystems in flux. This journal amplifies diverse perspectives, from boutique hoteliers to Indigenous tourism advocates, from data-driven market analysts to critics of overtourism. We welcome empirical studies, case studies, and bold theoretical work that challenges conventional narratives.

• Crisis & Resilience: Pandemic recovery, climate adaptation, and disaster management.

• Niche Tourism: Dark tourism, culinary travel, wellness retreats, and space tourism.
