International Journal of Culture, Tourism, and Hospitality Research

Journal Overview

About the Journal

The International Journal of Culture, Tourism, and Hospitality Research (IJCTHR) is the capstone publication of the International Society of Culture, Tourism, and Hospitality Research – a community of multidisciplinary scholars sharing advances in theory and research that increases descriptive knowledge and deepens useful sensemaking among the dynamic relationships of intra and inter cultural meanings, lived experiences, and how consumers, product-service providers, and cultural contexts co-create actions and interpretations involving travel, hospitality, enculturation, and acculturation.  The Society encourages an ecological systems perspective that includes, but goes beyond, viewing individual and group actions as the outcome of beliefs, attitudes, decisions, intentions, and behavior; the ecological systems perspective includes building and examining theory of micro contextual and macro cultural influences on unconscious, as well as conscious thinking and actions, of participants interpreting their lived experiences, own travel and hospitality experiences.  

Unique Attributes

The IJCTHR seeks papers using multidisciplinary theoretical and mixed methods approaches to building and examining theory of how humans unconsciously and consciously think and act within micro and macro cultural contexts.  Achieving pluralism by encouraging the combining of empirical positivism and interpretive-naturalistic and related research paradigms is an explicit core value of the Society and the IJCTHR invites such approaches for publication.  The IJCTHR especially seeks to nurture interdisciplinary multicultural work among sociological, psychological, geographical, consumer, leisure, marketing, travel and tourism, hospitality, and sport and entertainment researchers.  The Society seeks to become the primary source of multidisciplinary multicultural scholarship focusing on the relationships among culture, tourism, and hospitality.

Key Benefits

• The IJCTHR provides original, creative, multidisciplinary articles on the unconscious and conscious influences of culture, tourism, and hospitality on everyday life-with unique useful applications of mixed methods research approaches that combine empirical positivism and interpretive-naturalistic paradigms.
• The IJCTHR provides multidisciplinary assessment articles of recent advances in theory and research on culture, tourism, and hospitality published each year in the behavioral science journals relating to the IJCTHR’s focus-the IJCTHR commissions in-depth review articles and follows a double-blind review process for reviews of the most unique and useful articles published during the previous year in the Annals of Tourism Research, Tourism Management, Journal of Travel Research, Tourism Analysis, Journal of Leisure Research, Culture, Markets, and Consumption, Journal of Consumer Culture, and ten additional journals relating to culture, tourism, and hospitality.
• The IJCTHR includes in-depth reports on the acculturation and enculturation dynamics with respect to tourism, hospitality, and work-leisure in specific Asian, African, European, North and South American countries in one or more issues annually.
• The IJCTHR seeks and publishes replications, essays, and meta-analyses as well as papers seeking to advance theory and research on the cultural contextual influences on tourism, hospitality, and work-leisure behaviour.

Key Journal Audiences

The IJCTHR’s primary audience is academic scholars seeking to broaden their theoretical perspective and research skills to embrace multidisciplinary and multi-cultural approaches to the study of how culture, tourism, and hospitality interact in affecting participants’ conscious and unconscious thinking and actions.  Society members and their university and college colleagues are both the primary readers and contributors of the pages of the IJCTHR.  Membership in the Society and paper submissions to the IJCHTR is also open to tourism and hospitality product-service providers, destination marketing organisation executives, and professional journal writers.   

Coverage

The IJCTHR encourages, seeks, and publishes articles that advance multidisciplinary multicultural theory and research on the roles of culture, tourism, and hospitality in the lives of individuals, households, and organisations-both the perspectives and interpretations of all stakeholders within and across cultures including participants and providers of tourism and hospitality services.  Articles in IJCTHR explicitly seek to avoid the fundamental attribution error of thinking that consumers think and act primarily consciously and with minor impact due to contextual and macro cultural influences-the coverage includes an ecological systems perspective that includes but goes beyond conscious self-reporting using only paper-and-pencil like instruments.

Editorial Objectives and Scope

• IJCTHR is a forum for scholars contributing unique and valuable theory and research that is multidisciplinary and multicultural in coverage in describing and understanding human behavior involving travel, tourism, hospitality, and leisure. 
• The IJCTHR is an inclusive scientific publication that prefers to publish papers that contribute both to theory and research using empirical positivist and/or interpretive-naturalist methods. 
• The IJCTHR recognises that humans tend to underestimate cultural and micro contextually affects on their unconscious and conscious thinking and prefers to publish papers that examines both implicit and explicit thinking and activities in specific and multiple contexts and cultures.
• The IJCTHR serves a forum for the International Society of Culture, Tourism, and Hospitality Research and adheres to the Society’s goals of stimulating global cooperation and multinational research teamwork to foster original useful theory and research findings relating culture, tourism, and hospitality.
