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.
