Manuscripts submitted to the journal must not have been previously published nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. The journal publishes original and scholarly studies related to the field of tourism. The views and opinions expressed in the articles are solely the responsibility of the authors. ARTICLE TEMPLATE
