Journal of Tourism and Sustainable Development (JTSD) is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal dedicated to the critical examination of the intersection between the global tourism industry and the paradigms of sustainability. As tourism continuously evolves into a significant catalyst for socio-economic transformation, its expansion poses profound socio-ecological challenges. JTSD serves as a high-level academic forum for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to publish rigorous theoretical, empirical, and methodological research that addresses how tourism can be managed to ensure long-term environmental integrity, social equity, and economic viability. The journal emphasizes macro-philosophical reflections, systemic frameworks, and innovative solutions aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Scope and Topics

JTSD invites original research articles, comprehensive review papers, and conceptual essays that advance the understanding of sustainable tourism dynamics. The scope encompasses, but is not limited to, the following thematic areas:

• Sustainable Destination Management: Eco-tourism, community-based tourism (CBT), carrying capacity modeling, and resilient tourism infrastructure.

• Socio-Cultural and Economic Impacts: Cultural heritage preservation, tourism-driven economic development, poverty alleviation, and host community well-being.

• Environmental Policy and Climate Change: Carbon footprint mitigation in travel, biodiversity conservation within tourism zones, and climate adaptation strategies for vulnerable destinations.

• Smart and Responsible Tourism: Technological innovations (ICT, AI, IoT) fostering sustainability, circular economy models in hospitality, and ethical consumer behavior.

• Governance and Policy Frameworks: Public-private partnerships, institutional governance, regional planning, and macro-level tourism policies.

Publication Frequency

The Journal of Tourism and Sustainable Development (JTSD) is published semi-annually (2 issues per year), appearing in June and December. This regular schedule ensures a steady dissemination of timely research while maintaining rigorous quality control through its editorial processes.

Peer Review Process

To safeguard academic integrity and guarantee the highest standard of scientific publication, JTSD employs a strict double-blind peer review policy. Upon submission, all manuscripts undergo an initial editorial screening for scope alignment and plagiarism. Qualified papers are subsequently evaluated by at least two independent, international experts in the respective field. Reviewers assess submissions based on originality, methodological rigor, clarity of exposition, and contribution to the global discourse on sustainable tourism. The final editorial decision relies heavily on these peer evaluations.
