ognizant Communication Corporation

Tourism, Culture & Communication is international in its scope and will place no restrictions upon the range of cultural identities covered, other than the need to relate to tourism and hospitality. The Journal seeks to provide interdisciplinary perspectives in areas of interest that may branch away from traditionally recognized national and indigenous cultures, for example, cultural attitudes toward the management of tourists with disabilities, gender aspects of tourism, sport tourism, or age-specific tourism.

The focus will be on high-quality research, and a double-blind referring process will be applied. Tourism, Culture & Communication will consist of main articles, major thematic reviews, position papers on theory and practice, and substantive case studies. A Reports section will provide coverage of specific initiatives and projects, of work in progress, and of major conferences and seminars.
