Travel and Tourism Studies as a discipline continues to gain popularity in academia, in part because of its inter-disciplinary nature. The Travel and Tourism area seeks papers that discuss and explore any aspect of travel and/or tourism. Topics for this area include, but are not limited to, the following:
– travel and gender/race/class
– travel and religion
– travel and war
– personal travel narratives
– heritage tourism
– material culture and tourism
