The journal has introduced Current Issues in Asian Tourism (CIAT), which are regular specific issues dedicated to papers on tourism in Asia, as well as other themes issues.
The journal aims for a rapid turnaround of submissions and encourages short commentaries and rejoinders. In addition to normal length submissions the journal also welcomes extended peer-reviewed papers on a single topic that combine detailed literature reviews with substantive empirical research and/or policy analysis. Occasional special symposia issues will also be produced focusing on a special topic. In the ‘CIT Research Letters’ section, the journal is keen to encourage shorter pieces focussing on issues of the moment or early notice of research findings. We also welcome supplementary material in the form of video, audio, photographs, and additional information about data that is not otherwise included in the paper.
