Taylor & Francis to publish International Journal of Tourism Cities
The International Tourism Studies Association (ITSA) has announced that its flagship journal, International Journal of Tourism Cities (IJTC), will be published by Taylor & Francis from January 1, 2025.
IJTC will join Taylor & Francis’ leading tourism and urban studies journal portfolios, published under the highly regarded Routledge imprint.
Now into its tenth volume, IJTC is the only academic journal exclusively dedicated to urban tourism research, providing an international forum for the study of urban tourism and tourism cities. IJTC publishes primary research articles, expert discussions on current urban tourism issues, and tourism city case studies. It has had considerable success with special issues on important themes such as overtourism and sustainable tourism.
Prof. Cinà van Zyl, of the University of South Africa and President of ITSA, said: “ITSA being known for ‘bridging the gaps in tourism and hospitality studies and research, education, and training between developed and developing countries, and between tourism scholars and practitioners’ is thrilled to build upon this reputation and walk the journey with Taylor & Francis, to reach new heights in future.”
Matthew Derbyshire, Global Director of Social Sciences at Taylor & Francis, said: “We are delighted the ITSA has chosen Taylor & Francis as their new publishing partner. The effect of tourism on cities, both positive and negative, is a key issue around the world today and the work of the IJTC’s research community is vital to better understanding it. Therefore, we look forward to working with the IJTC editorial team to help maximize the journal’s reach and impact as it enters its second decade.”
IJTC is co-edited by Professor Alastair M. Morrison and Professor Andres Coca-Stefanik of the University of Greenwich, UK. Prof. Coca-Stefaniak said: “This is a wonderful opportunity for our International Journal of Tourism Cities to continue growing as the world’s leading peer-reviewed journal in urban tourism. We are delighted by the prospects Taylor & Francis offer as a leading publisher and look forward to growing our global community of urban tourism scholars and practitioners under the auspices of the International Tourism Studies Association.”
