The obvious and increasing
importance of the global development of tourism has engendered extensive
academic interest which has issued forth in a wide range of journals focusing
on various aspects of or approaches to tourism studies. These have tended to
examine historical trends only over short recent time periods or in abstract
and schematic ways. The neglect of tourism is now beginning to be addressed,
especially through the International Commission for the History of Travel and
Tourism, which was founded at the University
of Central Lancashire in
2001. As interest has burgeoned, the lack of a dedicated journal in this field
has become increasingly apparent.
The Journal
of Tourism History meets this need by providing an international
outlet for the publication of articles and reviews covering every aspect of the
history of tourism. It is interdisciplinary in ethos, looking outwards from a
historical core to engage with the full range of cognate disciplines and
theoretical approaches, and welcomes overviews and comparative as well as
contextualised case-studies, covering all areas of the world and all approaches
to historical study. It has an international editorial board and an advisory
board providing access to global expertise in the field. The Journal of Tourism History is edited by
Professor John K. Walton, one of the pioneers of the field. It will be launched
in the spring of 2009.
