The Aims, Scope & History
of Tourism Geographies
Aims & ScopeScope of the Journal
Tourism Geographies is the flagship social science journal focused on tourism from a geographic perspective. The journal publishes critical, multidisciplinary work from social science fields such as geography, anthropology, sociology, area studies, urban and regional planning, and environmental studies. Tourism Geographies is committed to publishing manuscripts based on rich empirical and theoretically rigorous scholarship that engages with and advances tourism geographies knowledge. Tourism Geographies serves to create a community of students, academics and practitioners with a shared interest and devotion to the geography of tourism. To achieve this, Tourism Geographies promotes new ideas, models and paradigms, encourages new research scholarship, and fosters interdisciplinary contributions that expand our knowledge of tourism as a place process and a spatial phenomenon that is shaping the environments in which we live. We believe that there are many fundamentally geographical aspects to tourism:
Tourism Geographies seeks to incorporate these aspects under the unique perspective of geography as a holistic discipline that synthesizes both the social sciences and physical sciences in its understanding of places, regions and the world in which we live. It attempts to explicitly incorporate and integrate the physical/environmental sciences and place/regional perspectives in both pure and applied research. While contributors are not be required to take this perspective, they are encouraged to do so, where appropriate. Tourism Geographies publishes blind reviewed research articles, review articles and literature reviews . In general, the journal does not publish case studies or consulting reports that do not contribute to broader theoretical or methodological issues in tourism and geographical research and understanding.
