Scope/Description:

The Journal of SportTourism JST aims to publish research that makes a clear contribution substantively theoretically or methodologically to the body of knowledge relating to all aspects of the relationship between sport and tourism. Seeking to be the first port of call for research into the relationship between sport and tourism JST welcomes submissions from all relevant subject areas such as sport leisure physical education and tourism and from a wide range of disciplines including but not confined to sociology psychology geography policy studies management studies economics and marketing. Submissions may be empirical or conceptual but should have a clearly articulated theoretical basis.JST takes an inclusive and wideranging view of the definitions of both sport and tourism and therefore considers professional and amateur competitive and noncompetitive social recreational and informal activities as well as leisure business and daytrip tourism to fall within its scope. The journal is interested in tourism incorporating any form of sporting interest not just tourism to actively participate in sport. Consequently manuscripts relating to tourism where sport is a subsidiary interest or activity are as appropriate for submission to JST as manuscripts relating to tourism where sport is the prime purpose.JST also covers wider aspects of the relationship between sport and tourism such as policy partnerships between sport and tourism agencies or the role of tourism in sports development and is interested in manuscripts that bring perspectives traditionally associated with the tourism area to the study of sport and viceversa.
