Journal On Tourism & Sustainability
About the Journal

The Journal On-Tourism & Sustainability (JOTS) is dedicated to supporting the rapidly expanding area of tourism development research. Our primary focus is to advance critical thinking on tourism as a catalyst for sustainable development. It is a peer-reviewed journal aiming to publish original research from a multidisciplinary perspective. The Journal is published by OTS Academy based in Oxford, UK, and published biannually (November–December / May–June). We welcome theoretical, conceptual, and empirical research that explores the relationship between tourism and development.
We publish papers that consider any aspect of the above topics. Contributions may deal with one or more of the economic, social, cultural, political, organisational, and environmental themes in tourism. A key feature of this new journal is the publication of special issues. Publishing for the first time: We encourage emerging scholars who are publishing for the first time to send us their manuscripts.
