Note from the Editor
Welcome to the seventh edition of Tourism Today, the journal of the College of Tourism and
Hotel Management. As in the past, our journal is available to everyone free of charge from
the College of Tourism and Hotel Management website.
In this edition, we present high-quality scholarship that should be of interest to many academics
and those in the tourism industry. Many of the papers in this edition are derived from
presentations from the “International Conference of Trends, Impacts and Policies on Tourism
Development" which took place in Heraklion, Greece in June 2006. We are grateful to the
Hellenic Open University for organizing the conference and giving us the opportunity to see
such interesting and stimulating presentations. Special thanks should be given to Konstantinos
Andriotis, whose enthusiasm made the conference such a success, ensuring that participation
made it a truly international event with cutting-edge research papers presented.
Apart from the vastly different methodological approaches and topics in this edition, we are
proud to note that this edition of Tourism Today continues to be a truly international journal,
publishing the works of authors from many different countries and analyzing data from around
the world. For example, Onome Daniel Awaritefe, an academic living in Nigeria, writes
about tourism in Nigeria, while Juame Garau-Taberner, affiliated with the University of the
Balearic Islands, writes about the Canaries, mainland Spain, France, the Balearics, and Italy.
These are merely examples of the truly international nature of the journal, authors of many
different nationalities and living in many different countries, doing thought-provoking research
involving data gathering from many different places.
Tourism Today continues to improve with time and we encourage the readers to be part of
the continuous process of improvement by submitting quality submissions to us. As always,
constructive comments that could help us improve the journal would be appreciated.
We wish you a good reading.
