Tourism Management is an international journal which publishes original research
in tourism, analysis of current trends, and
information on the planning and management of all
aspects of travel and tourism. The journal emphasizes the broadness and interrelatedness
of the tourism industry. Articles,
which should take a multisectoral approach, may cover geography, economics, transportation,
hotels
and catering, sociology, marketing or development studies. Tourism Management aims to publish articles that are directly
relevant to its
readers and of interest to both academics and practitioners, with a minimum of technical jargon.
Subjects covered should
be treated in such a way as to appeal to as wide a range as possible, and
those reporting research should attempt to draw management
implications from their results. The
use of examples is encouraged.
Submission of Papers
From 1st October 2005, all manuscripts
should be submitted electronically through the Elsevier Editorial System (EES) which can be accessed at http://ees.elsevier.com/jtma.
The system will automatically convert your source files (which should preferably be in an editable format such as word) to a single Adobe
Acrobat PDF version of the article, which will be used during the peer-review process. Please note that even though manuscript source
files are converted to PDF at submission for the review process, these source files will be needed for further processing after acceptance.
If you are not able to submit your paper to JTMA electronically please contact the Editor Chris Ryan at caryan@waikato.ac.nz
for further instructions.
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the
form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere,
that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out,
and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written
consent of the Publisher. The Editors reserve the right to edit or otherwise alter all contributions, but authors will receive proofs
for approval before publication.
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to sign a ?Journal Publishing Agreement?? (for
more information on this and copyright see http://www.elsevier.com/copyright). Acceptance of the agreement will ensure the
widest possible dissemination of information. An e-mail (or letter) will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the
manuscript together with a `Journal Publishing Agreement? form or a link to the online version of this agreement.
If excerpts from other
copyrighted works are included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the
article. Elsevier has preprinted forms for use by authors in these cases: contact Elsevier?s Rights Department, Oxford, UK: phone (+44)
1865 843830, fax (+44) 1865 853333, e-mail permissions@elsevier.com. Requests may also be completed online via the Elsevier
homepage (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/permissions).
Preparation of text
Please write your text in good
English (American or British usage is accepted, but not a mixture of these). Italics are not to be used for expressions of Latin origin,
for example, in vivo, et al., per se. Use decimal points (not commas); use a space for thousands (10 000 and above).
Double
spacing and wide (3 cm) margins should be used. (Avoid full justification, i.e., do not use a constant right-hand margin.) Ensure that
each new paragraph is clearly indicated.
Provide the following data on the title page (in the order given).
Title.
Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
Author
names and affiliations. Where the family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double name), please indicate this clearly. Present the
authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript
letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation,
including the country name, and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
Corresponding author. Clearly indicate
who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that telephone and
fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.
Present/permanent
address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address'
(or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work
must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
Abstract. A
concise and factual abstract is required (maximum length 150 words). The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the
principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separate from the article, so it must be able to stand alone.
References should therefore be avoided, but if essential, they must be cited in full, without reference to the reference list.
Keywords.
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 8 keywords, avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for
example, 'and', 'of'). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible.
Arrangement
of the article
Subdivision of the article. Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections
should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for
internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to 'the text.' Any subsection, ideally, should not be more than 600 words. Authors are
urged to write as concisely as possible, but not at the expense of clarity.
Figure legends, figures, schemes. Present these,
in this order, at the end of the article. They are described in more detail below. High-resolution graphics files must always be provided
separate from the main text file (see Preparation of illustrations).
Tables. Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance
in the text. Place footnotes to tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Avoid vertical rules.
Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article.
References
Responsibility for the accuracy of bibliographic citations lies entirely with the authors.
Citations
in the text: Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references
cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications should not be in the reference list, but
may be mentioned in the text. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication.
Citing
and listing of web references: As a minimum, the full URL should be given. Any further information, if known (author names, dates,
reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list)
under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list.
Text: Citations in the text should follow
the referencing style used by the American Psychological Association. You are referred to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association, Fifth Edition, ISBN 1-55798-790-4, copies of which may be ordered from http://www.apa.org/books/4200061.html
or APA Order Dept., P.O.B. 2710, Hyattsville, MD 20784, USA or APA, 3 Henrietta Street, London, WC3E 8LU, UK. Details concerning this
referencing style can also be found at http://humanities.byu.edu/linguistics/Henrichsen/APA/APA01.html.
List: References
should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s)
in the same year must be identified by the letters "a", "b", "c", etc., placed after the year of publication.

Reference to a journal publication:
Van der Geer, J., Hanraads, J. A. J., & Lupton R. A. (2000). The art of
writing a scientific article. Journal of Scientific Communications, 163, 51-59.
Reference to a book:
Strunk, W., Jr., & White, E. B. (1979). The elements of style. (3rd ed.). New York: Macmillan, (Chapter 4).

to a chapter in an edited book:
Mettam, G. R., & Adams, L. B. (1994). How to prepare an electronic version of your
article. In B. S. Jones, & R. Z. Smith (Eds.), Introduction to the electronic age (pp. 281-304). New York: E-Publishing

When uploading your files, please do not
use PDFs as source files for illustrations as these are large and slow down the journal site, which inconveniences users. Please use
standard drawing programs for line figures (e.g., Adobe etc.). Please save all illustrations, including scanned photographs, micrographs
and plates, in a simple file format such as Jpeg. The site will build all of your source files into a PDF. Please also remember to approve
the PDF promptly.
Color figures in the printed issue can be accepted only if the authors defray the full cost. However,
if together with your accepted article, you submit usable color figures, then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these
figures will appear in color on the Web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether these illustrations are reproduced
in color in the printed version.
For color reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from Elsevier
after receipt of your accepted article. Please note: Because of technical complications that can arise in converting color figures to
"gray scale" (for the printed version should you not opt for color in print), please submit in addition usable black-and-white files
corresponding to all the color illustrations.
Captions. Ensure that each illustration has a caption. A caption should comprise
a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum
but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.
Tables
Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in
order of appearance in the text. Type each table double-spaced on a separate page with a short descriptive title typed directly above
and with essential footnotes below.
When your manuscript is received by the Publisher it is considered to be in its final form. Proofs are not to be regarded as 'drafts'.
One set of page proofs in PDF format will be sent by e-mail to the corresponding Author (if we do not have an e-mail address then paper
proofs will be sent by post). Elsevier now sends PDF proofs which can be annotated; for this you will need to download Adobe Reader version
7 available free from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html. Instructions on how to annotate PDF files will
accompany the proofs.
If you do not wish to use the PDF annotations function, you may list the corrections (including replies to the
Query Form) and return to Elsevier in an e-mail. Please list your corrections quoting line number. If, for any reason, this is not possible,
then mark the corrections and any other comments (including replies to the Query Form) on a printout of your proof and return by fax,
or scan the pages and e-mail, or by post.
Please use this proof only for checking the typesetting, editing, completeness and correctness
of the text, tables and figures. Significant changes to the article as accepted for publication will only be considered at this stage
with permission from the Editor. We will do everything possible to get your article published quickly and accurately. Therefore, it is
important to ensure that all of your corrections are sent back to us in one communication: please check carefully before replying, as
inclusion of any subsequent corrections cannot be guaranteed. Proofreading is solely your responsibility. Note that Elsevier may proceed
with the publication of your article if no response is received.
Online Publication
Your article will appear on Elsevier's
online journal database ScienceDirect as an "Article in Press" within approximately 4-6 weeks of acceptance. Articles in Press for this
journal can be viewed at http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/0265931X. An Article in Press may be cited prior to
its publication by means of its unique digital object identifier (DOI) number, which does not change throughout the publication process.
Enquiries
For enquiries relating to the submission of articles (including electronic submission where available) please
