About this journal

Aims and scope

Anatolia is a truly international tourism and hospitality research journal with considerable interest worldwide. It aims to provide an international platform for innovative studies that make a significant contribution to the understanding, practice, and education of tourism and hospitality operations. It does so through the publication of high-quality, up-to-date and timely research papers. The Journal also serves as a unique forum for the publication of case studies for instructional use in local, national and global settings.

Anatolia seeks to widen the limits of tourism and hospitality research by stimulating the submission of papers from both inter- and multi-disciplinary perspectives. The Journal invites contributions related to the following subjects and their applications in tourism and hospitality: marketing; management; economics; consumer behavior; culture; methodology; sustainability; IT applications; food operations; planning and development; financial management; gender issues; ethics; entrepreneurship; education; and future trends.

The Journal seeks high-quality submissions and welcomes original scientific research, reviews, research notes, case studies, conference notes, book reviews, portraits, editorials, and commentaries.
