Aim and Scope 
The Journal of Tourism Theory and Research (JTTR) publishes cutting-edge theoretical, conceptual, and empirical studies that critically examine the foundations, frameworks, and future directions of tourism. JTTR aims to advance tourism scholarship by:

1. Theoretical Innovation

Welcoming papers that develop, challenge, or extend conceptual models, philosophical perspectives, and grand theories specifically in tourism, travel, hospitality, leisure, and destination dynamics.
Prioritizing contributions that explore emerging paradigms, interdisciplinary cross-interaction, and reflexive critiques of tourism’s ontological and epistemological assumptions.

2. Empirical Theory-Building
Inviting rigorous qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method studies that contribute to tourism theory formation, generalization, or refinement.
Encouraging analyses that uncover mechanisms, patterns, or causal relations with theoretical significance, such as tourist behavior, destination governance, sustainability, digital mediation, or cultural production.

3. Cross-Disciplinary Engagement
Bridging tourism studies with related disciplines—e.g., geography, economics, sociology, anthropology, policy studies, environmental studies—to generate innovative theoretical syntheses or integrative frameworks.
Showcasing how insights from external fields can illuminate tourism phenomena, and vice versa.

4. Conceptual Reviews & Critical Reflections
Featuring meta-theoretical or narrative reviews that map the evolution of tourism paradigms, identify gaps, or propose new research frontiers.
Hosting reflective essays or provocative debate papers addressing normative issues, methodological challenges, or the impact of global change on tourism theory.
