MANUSCRIPT STRUCTURE

Full-length research papers report completed research studies and must demonstrate clear academic contributions. Research articles should:

• Recommended manuscript length: 5,000 – 10,000 words (including references).
• Present original theoretical or methodological contributions.
• Demonstrate rigorous research design.
• Provide implications for tourism or hospitality.
• Studies based solely on single convenience-sample surveys are unlikely to be considered for review.
• For scale development studies, authors are expected to apply the developed scale in a theory-driven research study, rather than presenting scale validation alone.

Authors should structure their manuscript using the sections below:

1. Title

        The title should:

• Be concise, clear, and informative
• Contain no more than 12 words
• Avoid uncommon abbreviations

2. Abstract

          The abstract must:

• Be written in English
• Be presented in one paragraph
• Contain a maximum of 250 words
• The abstract should briefly include: Research background, Research objectives, Research methods, Key findings, and Main conclusions.
• Abstracts should be self-contained and able to stand alone.
• Avoid references and uncommon abbreviations whenever possible.

3. Keywords

       Keywords should:

• 1–6 keywords
• Be written in English

8. Conclusions

       The conclusion should:

• Directly answer the research objectives
• Highlight the key research findings
