A journal 100% in English, 100% online, 100% open access and where no charges of any kind apply to authors or readers.

1.2 Focus and Scope

ET is an international, multi-disciplinary, refereed (under a double-blind peer review), online and fully open access journal, written 100% in English, aiming to promote and enhance research in all fields of the tourism industry. It is intended for readers in the scholarly community who deal with different tourism sectors, both at the macro and micro-level, as well as for professionals in this industry.

ET provides a platform for debate and dissemination of research findings, new research areas and techniques, conceptual developments, and articles with practical application to any tourism segment. It welcomes all kind of research papers, together with book reviews.

The material published in ET covers all scientific, conceptual and applied disciplines related to the tourism business, including economics, planning and development, management, marketing, human resources, sociology, psychology, geography, information and communication technologies, service quality, finance, and education.

In general terms, ET aims at:

*Disseminating and promoting research, good practice and innovation in all aspects of tourism to its prime audience, including educators, researchers, post-graduate students, policymakers, and industry practitioners.

*Encouraging international scientific cooperation and understanding, and enhancing multi-disciplinary research across all tourism sectors.

More specific aims (or themes of special interest to be addressed) are the following:

*The journal is specially conceived as a cross-cultural endeavour for building academic bridges between Europe and other continents. Therefore, papers with this focus are especially welcomed.

*Research that has the potential to inspire and enlighten responsible decision-making, policy-making, stakeholder engagement, and social and environmental business practices in the field of tourism will be particularly welcomed.

*Applied researches on small-and-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are also of particular interest.

In sum, the journal features conceptual and empirical papers, and editorial policy is to invite the submission of manuscripts from academics, researchers, post-graduate students, policy-makers and industry practitioners. The Editorial Team/Board will be looking particularly for articles about new trends and developments within different sectors of tourism, and the application of new ideas and developments that are likely to affect tourism, travel, hospitality and leisure in the future. ET also welcomes the submission of manuscripts in areas that may not be directly tourism-related but cover a topic that is of interest to researchers, educators, policy-makers and practitioners in various fields of tourism.

1.3 Publication Frequency

ET will be intended to be published twice a year, covering the periods January-June and July-December.
