TOURISMOS is an international, multi-disciplinary, refereed (peer ...

development of models and approaches that have not been proven yet
through primary research. In all cases, the papers should provide original
ideas, approaches or preliminary findings that are open to discussion.
Purely descriptive accounts may be considered suitable for this section,
provided that are well-justified and of interest to the readers of
TOURISMOS. Each paper should have the following structure: a)
abstract, b) introduction (including an overall presentation of the issue to
be examined and the aims and objectives of the paper), c) main body
(including, where appropriate, the review of literature, the development of
hypotheses and/or models, research methodology, presentation of
findings, and analysis and discussion), d) conclusions (including also,
where appropriate, recommendations, practical implications, limitations,
and suggestions for further research), e) bibliography, f)
acknowledgements, and g) appendices.
Book Reviews
Book Reviews should be not longer than 1500 words and not shorter than
1000; these articles aim at presenting and critically reviewing books from
the greater field of tourism. Most reviews should focus on new
publications, but older books are also welcome for presentation. Book
Reviews are not subject to blind peer review; the decision for the final
acceptance of the article will be taken unanimously by the Editor and by
the Book Reviews Editor. Where appropriate, these articles may include
references and bibliography. Books to be reviewed may be assigned to
potential authors by the Book Reviews Editor, though TOURISMOS is
also open to unsolicited suggestions for book reviews from interested
parties.
Conference Reports
Conference Reports should be not longer than 2000 words and not shorter
than 1000; these articles aim at presenting and critically reviewing
conferences from the greater field of tourism. Most reports should focus
on recent conferences (i.e., conferences that took place not before than
three months from the date of manuscript submission), but older
conferences are also welcome for presentation if appropriate. Conference
Reports are not subject to blind peer review; the decision for the final
acceptance of the article will be taken unanimously by the Editor and by
the Conference Reports Editor. Where appropriate, these articles may
include references and bibliography. Conference reports may be assigned
to potential authors by the Conference Reports Editor, though
