The aim of the EATSJ, which is an Open Access Journal, is to help promote junior researchers to publish their work. We have elected a board of Early Career Researchers (ECR) whom will be supported and mentored by senior academics. All papers will be Double-Blind Peer Reviewed. However, during the reviewing process, other advisory members of our editorial boards, will provide support to help potential author/s, to overcome some of their publishing challenges. The inaugural issue of EATSJ is scheduled for June 2020. However, if an author is unsuccessful at the first review process for the inaugural issue, she/he can take advantage of the editorial board support provided at the Round Table Discussion.

Our aim is to assist a new generation of researchers in tourism to realise their publication potentials.

The EATSA – Euro-Asia Tourism Studies Association is committed to the best practices in Tourism and Hospitality research. This is , to ensure high standards of international cooperation, with the aim to bolster the scientific knowledge in Tourism and Hospitality research. The members of EATSA should agree to conduct their research, according to the same standards of research integrity, while respecting the laws and sovereignty of the States of all participating parties. In funded international projects, the promotion of good practice and the handling of any potential cases of misconduct, as recommended by the coordinating committee of the OECD Global Science Forum, should be followed.

Journal

We are excited to announce the Inaugural issue of EATSJ – Euro-Asia Tourism Studies Journal, scheduled for June 2020.
The aim of the EATSJ is to provide a platform to promote our junior European and Asian researchers. It is an Open Access Journal, whose key purpose, is to encourage Early Career Researchers (ECR), PhD and Masters Candidates to publish their research outcomes. It also provides an opportunity for ECRs to manage the editorial board, supported and mentored by our member advisory senior academics. We encourage all aspiring authors to submit their research work for consideration. Our capable editorial board will provide help and support to ease any publication challenges. In this way, our commitment is to assist a new generation of European and Asian tourism researchers to realise their publication potentials.

New Organization
Due to the current situation, we are rethinking the conference.
