Journal of Tourism (JoT) is a collaborative publication of the Centre for Mountain Tourism and Hospitality Studies of H.N.B Garhwal University, India, and the Department of Tourism Management of the University of Southern Mississippi. The journal is aimed to be a platform for interdisciplinary researchers in tourism to communicate their research to an international audience that include educators, researchers, and professionals. The journal shall recognize the broadness and the interconnectedness of tourism, both as a phenomenon and as its realization as an industry. There exists almost no disciplinary field which cannot offer some or the other valuable perspective on tourism and the journal's contents shall reflect its integrative approach. Manuscripts shall be accepted from researchers so long as tourism studies as an academic field is enriched, irrespective of their major disciplinary orientations. The journal shall accept professional papers as well so long as such contributions have discernable theoretical implications. By means its intellectual exercises, JoT also aims to heighten awareness of the Asian and the North American continents as significant players in the international tourism. The joint publication of the journal by two respected universities, one based in the USA and the other based in India, is the materialization of an emerging value statement during our times noted for the extensive globalization of tourism. |
