About the journal

Research focus

The Journal of Academic Tourism Analysis (Journal ATA) is an international, double-blind peer-reviewed academic platform dedicated to publishing original, rigorous, and impactful research grounded in theoretical foundations across tourism and related disciplines. Moving beyond mere description, the journal encourages studies that develop new theoretical perspectives, critically evaluate existing frameworks, and offer evidence-based insights for both academic literature and industry practices.

Journal ATA welcomes interdisciplinary contributions across a broad spectrum of fields, including tourism and hospitality management, gastronomy and culinary studies, recreation and leisure studies, sustainable and smart tourism, destination management, tourism economics, sociology, and policy. Committed to research integrity and editorial transparency, the journal builds upon its foundational years—formerly known as the Journal of Eurasian Tourism Research—and continues its internationalization vision.

Operating under a Diamond Open Access model with zero fees for authors or readers, Journal ATA adopted a Continuous Publication model. This approach ensures that accepted articles are published immediately upon the completion of their editorial and production workflows without waiting for a scheduled issue. Journal ATA provides a robust, transparent, and seamless global platform for researchers, educators, and policymakers worldwide.
