1. To be reviewed for possible publication in this journal all authors must follow the instructions below and submit their manuscript

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

2. The editorial policy of the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management is that all papers published as ‘articles’ or ‘educational forum’ have been subject to a double-blind reviewing process by a member of the Editorial Review Board or her or his nominee. The Editorial Board of the JHTM are listed on the inside front cover of the journal.

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.

Articles should be double-spaced, on one side of an A4 sheet only, with a left hand margin of 4cm. Each page should be numbered consecutively.

3. Upon acceptance of their article for publication, authors who have prepared the manuscript on an IBM-compatible PC or Apple Macintosh computer should submit a copy of their work on 3.5 inch disk in addition to two final printed copies. Acceptable word processing formats are: Word or RTF. The author’s name, word processing program and version number must be specified on a label on the disk.

4. Contributions should follow the general style described in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, (4th ed., 1995), except that spelling should conform to The Macquarie Dictionary (2nd ed.). For matters of style not covered in these two publications the Style Manual for Authors, Editors and Printers (5th ed., Australian Government Publishing Service) should be consulted.

5. Tables should be printed at the end of the manuscript (not in the main text) and included on the disk. Their approximate positions in the text should be indicated by the words: “Table X about here”. Horizontal and vertical lines should be used sparingly. Figures should be supplied as hard copy only, unless they can be provided in Adobe Illustrator, EPS or TIFF formats. They should be presented as laser or photographic bromide output at a minimum print density of 600 dpi and should not include shaded areas of grey, but instead use repeated patterns of lines or crosses to distinguish for example different bars on a graph. Print outs should be included after the tables, and their approximate positions also indicated in the text as above. The figures should be preceded by a page listing figure numbers and titles and should be numbered on the back with figure number, title of article and name of author(s).

6. Use double quotation marks to introduce a word or phrase used as an ironic comment, as slang, or as an invented or coined expression. Use quotation marks for the first time the word or phrase is used; thereafter, do not use quotation marks. Do not use double quotation marks to introduce a technical or key term. Instead, italicise the term.

7. Apart from author’s affiliations, do not use any footnotes. Endnotes should be kept to a minimum and listed at the end of the text under the centred heading ‘NOTES’. Acknowledgements should be placed at the end of the article with a separate heading.
