The Journal of Tourism Theory and Research (JTTR) is an international, double-anonymized, peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to advancing critical knowledge in tourism by publishing high-quality theoretical, empirical, and methodological studies. Published biannually in March and September, the journal offers an academic forum for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to examine contemporary tourism phenomena across diverse social, economic, environmental, cultural, technological, and political contexts.
JTTR welcomes original research articles, conceptual papers, systematic and narrative literature reviews, methodological contributions, and interdisciplinary analyses that advance understanding of tourism as a dynamic and multifaceted field of inquiry. The journal encourages submissions that engage with emerging debates, challenge existing assumptions, and offer innovative perspectives on tourism development, governance, consumer behavior, destination management, sustainability, digital transformation, mobility, hospitality, and related areas.
JTTR is grounded in scientific rigor and academic integrity, promoting multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral approaches that link tourism scholarship to broader societal challenges and opportunities. Particular emphasis is placed on research that advances sustainable and responsible tourism practices, evidence-based policymaking, and the development of resilient and inclusive tourism systems in a rapidly changing global environment.
As an open-access journal, JTTR ensures the unrestricted dissemination of scholarly knowledge to a global readership. By making research freely accessible, the journal aims to enhance the visibility, impact, and practical relevance of tourism scholarship across academic, professional, and policy communities.
