ASIA PACIFIC JOURNAL

 
As an official journal of the Asia Pacific Tourism Association ( founded in September 1995), the APJTR seeks to publish both empirically and theoretically based articles which advance and foster tourism education, research, and professionalism in the Asia Pacific region. The Journal welcomes submissions of full length articles, research notes, critical reviews on major issues, and reviews of books and conferences with relevance to the Asia Pacific region.
