Aims and Scope
The main aim of The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research is to provide a peer-reviewed forum for the study and discussion of tourism and peace issues in tourism and tourism-related areas of leisure, recreation and hospitality studies. The realities of the 21st Century, including globalization, immigration, terrorism, home-grown terror, made and natural catastrophes, conflicts, stereotypes, perceptions, and rising poverty, necessitate a closer look at the role of tourism. The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research is an international journal that encompasses all aspects of tourism and leisure oriented to peace, cooperation and conflict solutions. Tourism and Peace is broad in scope and deals with many aspects relating to peace, such as appropriate planning, international cooperation, peace through tourism, tourism for peace, tourism in conflict-ridden areas, avoiding negative impacts of tourism, tourism and human rights, peace museums, tourism and attitude change, peace parks, tourism and borders, tourism and cross cultural behaviour and understanding.
The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research welcomes submissions from scholars in all parts of the world. Submitted research papers should normally be 4000-7000 words in length, and should demonstrate original and substantive contributions to scientific knowledge. Shorter articles in the form of Research Notes, Commentaries, Reports, and Reviews may also be submitted. The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research will be published twice a year, and will include themed collections as well as individual papers. The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research is committed to maintaining a high standard of quality and excellence through rigorous review procedures. It is of relevance to a number of disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, geography, environmental studies, peace and conflict studies, urban planning and tourism and hospitality management.
