Aims and scope
Tourism Critiques: Practice and Theory (TRC) seeks articles that review and critique current understanding of tourism and its social, economic, cultural, environmental and political impacts as demonstrated through business practices and policy-making by organisations. It is international in coverage, and is compliant with Plan S, that is, it is open access and authors are not required to pay authorship fees. It has an internationally recognised editorial board.

To facilitate the dissemination of knowledge across languages, TRC allows for the publication of articles previously published in the Chinese language.

All articles are published open access, so are made freely available at no charge to the author.

When submitting a manuscript, authors will be taken to a service called Paperpal Preflight, an AI-driven tool that checks manuscripts against the journal’s author guidelines. Authors are free to use or bypass this step and submit directly to ScholarOne.
