Call for contributions

We have several short articles available for art historians and those interested in travel/tourism including: Tourism and the Arts, Airport Art, and Architecture and Tourism.

We are inviting academic editorial contributors to The SAGE International Encyclopedia of Travel and Tourism. In a multidisciplinary approach, this encyclopedia examines the world travel and tourism industry, which is expected to grow at an annual rate of four percent in the next 10 years. This rapidly expanding sector is seen in a variety of disciplines, from the anthropology of tourism to the sociology of leisure to tourism administration within business schools to urban studies programs. Moreover, travel and tourism is now segmented into categories with disciplinary foundations that include health (medical tourism), environmentalism (ecotourism), culture (LGBT tourism and cultural tourism), sexuality (sex tourism), geography (geotourism), and business (agritourism and business tourism), among others. Over 675 entries are organized A-Z across 4 volumes in the following categories.

Culture and Heritage in Travel and Tourism
Destination Travel & Tourism
Impacts of Travel & Tourism on the Environment, Economy, and Society
Intermediaries in Travel and Tourism
Law and Ethics in Travel & Tourism
Marketing Travel & Tourism
Operations Issues in Travel & Tourism
Organizations for Tourism
Policy, Planning & Development in Travel & Tourism: National & International

We are currently making assignments with a deadline of January 1, 2015.

Published by SAGE Reference, the encyclopedia will be available in a choice of electronic or print formats. Each 1,000 to 5,000-word article will be signed by the contributor. The General Editor, who will be reviewing each submission to the project, is Dr. Linda Lowry, University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

If you are interesting in contributing to this cutting-edge reference, it can be a notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your publishing credits. SAGE Publications offers an honorarium ranging from SAGE book credits for smaller articles up to a free set of the printed product for contributions totaling 10,000 words or more.

The list of available articles is already prepared, and as a next step we will e-mail you the Article List (Excel file) from which you can select topics that best fit your experience and interests. Additionally, Styles and Submission Guidelines will be provided that detail article specifications.
