and academicians in the fields of leisure,
recreation, tourism and hospitality. The journal
encourages researchers to examine tourism issues
from a functioning systems approach. Its scope

qualitative), decision-making techniques and procedures,
estimation models, demand±supply analysis,
monitoring systems, assessment of site and
destination attractiveness, new analytical tools
and research methods related to these and other
themes. As an interdisciplinary refereed �double
blind) journal, it aims to appeal to scholars,
professionals and students in this field. First
appearing in 1996, it is published quarterly by
Cognizant Communication Corporation �ISSN
1083±5423).
Tourism Economics

Tourism Economics covers the business aspects of

and restaurants businesses, merchandising,
attractions, transport, entertainment and tourist
activities, as well as economic organisation of
tourism at micro and macro levels. In addition to
full-length articles, the journal accommodates
shorter contributions such as research notes. Article
submissions are subject to a double blind review.
There will be a minimum of two referees for each
paper. First published in 1995, it is published
quarterly by In Print Publishing �ISSN 1334±
8166).

manage the growth and development of tourism

organisations consisting of the official administrative
bodies responsible for tourism, those which
bring together two or more members with interest in
tourism or some public±private sector partnership.
These organisations may have different goals,
functions and structures and operate at a range of
scales, from the local and regional through to the
national �known as national tourism administration
or NTA) and international �such as Pacific
Asia Travel Association and World Tourism
Organization).
