Journal of Destination Marketing & Management

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Elsevier’s new Journal of Destination Marketing & Management (JDMM) which aims to be the leading international journal for the study of tourist destinations by providing a critical understanding of all aspects of their marketing and management, as they are situated in their particular policy, planning, economic, geographical and historical contexts. JDMM seeks to develop a robust theoretical understanding of destination marketing and management by harnessing knowledge drawn from the full breadth of disciplinary approaches to the study of destinations. It seeks to foster a critical development of the domain, expand the frontiers of knowledge in the field and provide an international forum for the exchange of ideas.

The objective of JDMM is to publish up-to-date, high-quality, original research papers, syntheses and applied case studies, alongside relevant and insightful reviews. As such, the journal aspires to be vibrant, engaging and accessible, yet at the same time integrative and challenging. Those involved in the interdisciplinary approach of marketing and management, economic development and planning, geography, sociology, psychology, anthropology, retailing, policy making and public administration of tourist destinations will find the journal of particular interest.

The journal has only recently been launched so submissions are now welcome on any aspect of the marketing and management of destinations. For inclusion in the first issue of the journal it is highly desirable for papers to be received for double-blind review prior to the end of February 2012. As such, any papers that you wish to submit, either individually or collaboratively, are much appreciated and would make a substantial contribution to the early development and success of the journal. Papers to be published in JDMM are expected to be between 6,000 and 8,000 words with the reference style identical to that used in Elsevier’s Tourism Management. As an interim measure until the website is fully developed, please submit manuscripts to me directly at afyall@bournemouth.ac.uk.

Best wishes and thank you in advance for your potential contribution to the early success of the Journal of Destination Marketing & Management.

Editor-in-Chief, Professor Alan Fyall, Bournemouth University, UK
