Aims & Scope

Tourism & Management Studies (Online ISSN: 2182-8466) is an international open-access academic journal dedicated to publishing original conceptual and empirical research in the fields of: Tourism/Hospitality Manuscripts in this field should be related to Tourism /Hospitality, approaching their topics from any perspective within the Social Sciences that can enrich both theory and practice (e.g., sustainability, information technologies, social media, marketing, hospitality, geography, sociology, anthropology, economics, psychology, etc.). Studies are expected to be original, address a research gap, and contribute to advancing knowledge in Tourism/Hospitality.

This encompasses various areas such as marketing, sustainability, information technologies, organisational behaviour, human resource management, strategy, entrepreneurship, innovation, governance, administration, and more. Studies should fill a research gap and actively contribute to advancing knowledge in the dynamic field of Business/Management. Applied Cultural Studies The journal also focuses on Applied Cultural Studies as one of its distinctive features, exploring the intersection of Culture with Tourism/Hospitality or Business/Management. Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, it emphasises Culture's role in sustainable development, inclusive societies, and improved conditions for all involved stakeholders. Topics may include cultural aspects of tourism, heritage in tourism, cultural impacts, creative industries, multiculturalism, gender studies, and the role of festivals/events in tourism. Understanding how Culture shapes international business, including communication, organisational behaviour, hierarchy, and management practices, is emphasised. The journal encourages cross-national and cross-cultural studies, deepening the theoretical understanding of the intricate relationship between Culture and Business in a globalised world. This journal promotes and disseminates relevant, high-quality research and encourages interdisciplinary and comparative approaches. It aims to provide a forum for researchers, scholars, doctoral students, entrepreneurs, and leaders of public and private institutions and organisations. All papers are subject to a strict triple-blind peer review process. Tourism & Management Studies is an international publication that covers all geographical areas of the world. Research papers should have between 6,000 and 9,000 words. The Editorial Board may, however, accept longer documents if they are of particular interest to the journal.
