Aim & Scope

The Journal of Global Hospitality and Tourism (JGHT) is an international, non-profit, open access, double-blind peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing scholarly understanding of hospitality and tourism in a global context. The main objective of JGHT is to provide an intellectual platform for international scholars by promoting high-quality research that addresses real-world phenomena and issues in the hospitality and tourism industries.

JGHT publishes original research articles, review papers, and communications that identify, explain, analyze, and critically evaluate business and management challenges in the hospitality and tourism sectors. We encourage authors to present their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible, providing full methodological transparency so that findings can be independently reproduced and built upon.

The journal is committed to nurturing a diverse global scholarly community and welcomes submissions from researchers at all career stages and from all geographic regions.
