1. All articles are refereed. Papers submitted to the journal must not previously have been published nor submitted for publication to any other journal.

2. Papers should be submitted via e-mail in Word or RTF format. Authors who wish to submit their paper in hard copy format may do so by arrangement with the editor.

3. The editorial policy of the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management is that all papers be subject to a double-blind reviewing process by a member of the Editorial Review Board or their nominee. See the inside front cover for details of the Editorial Review Board.

4. Contributions should normally be limited to 5000 words, although longer articles will be considered. Book reviews should be between 200 and 800 words. Review essays may be longer.

5. Contributions should follow the format and style described in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.). Spelling and punctuation should conform to The Macquarie Dictionary(4th ed.). For matters of style not covered in these two publications the Style manual for authors, editors and printers (6th ed.) should be consulted.

6. Documents should be double-spaced with minimum margins of 40 mm on the left and 35mm on the right. The pages should be numbered. Uncommon abbreviations and acronyms should be explained. Do not use underlining except to indicate italics. Full stops should not be used in abbreviations or acronyms (e.g., NSW).

7. Use single quotation marks to introduce a word or phrase used as an ironic comment, as slang, or which has been coined. Use quotation marks the first time the word or phrase is used; do not use them again. Do not use quotation marks to introduce a technical or key term. Instead, italicise the term.

8. Front page: under the title of the article only the names and affiliations of the authors appear. Qualifications, present appointments, and postal and e-mail addresses should be given in a separate section on the front page labelled ‘Address for correspondence’. A word count and suggested running head of no more than 50 characters including spaces should also be provided.

9. Do not use any footnotes. Endnotes should be kept to a minimum and listed at the end of the text under the centred heading ‘Endnotes’. Acknowledgments should be placed at the end of the article with a separate heading.

10. Tables should be at the end of the manuscript, not in the main text. Their approximate positions in the text should be indicated by the words, ‘Insert Table X here’. Horizontal and vertical lines should be used sparingly.

11. Photographs, graphs and figures should be prepared to the correct size (max. width 80 mm single column or up to 160 mm double column) and each one supplied as an individual file, separate to the manuscript Word file. Include placement instructions in the Word document, such as ‘Insert Fig X here’. Figures should be in black and white line art (artwork that has only text and lines, no shades of grey or blocks of colour).

• Figures created in Microsoft Word, Excel or Powerpoint need to be saved as PDFs. Figures created in a drawing program such as Adobe llustrator, CorelDRAW, Freehand, Microsoft Publisher or similar should be saved as EPS (encapsulated postscript) files. Figures created in Photoshop or with other photographic software should be saved with a minimum resolution of 600 dpi and in TIF format. Minimum resolution for scanned graphics is 300dpi for halftone work (e.g., photographs) and 600 dpi for line art, and these should also be in TIF format.
• Manuscripts that contain special characters (equations, Chinese characters, etc.) need to be supplied as a PDF file as well as a Word document or RTF.
• Prior to sending artwork, the separate files of figures, graphs, illustrations, and so on, should be printed by the author to test that the fonts have been embedded correctly and there is no distortion in the artwork (e.g., lines and fonts reproduce cleanly with no jagged lines or fuzzy edges), as any such faults cannot be corrected by the publisher.
• A list of figure captions should follow the tables in the manuscript Word document.

12. References should follow the format and style described in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.). Examples of citations are:

The theory was first propounded in 1970 (Larsen, 1971). Larsen (1971) was the first to propound the theory.
