Journal of Sustainable Tourism is a peer-reviewed academic journal addressing the intersection of tourism, Environmental policy, Conservation biology, Urban planning, Rural development and Cultural heritage with a focus on sustainability outcomes. Established in the early 1990s, the journal has engaged scholars associated with institutions such as University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, University of Queensland, University of British Columbia and University of Cape Town and has informed policy discussions in forums like the United Nations and the European Commission. It publishes research from authors affiliated with organizations such as World Wide Fund for Nature, International Union for Conservation of Nature, UNESCO World Heritage Centre, World Tourism Organization and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The journal was founded in 1993 amid growing academic interest following events such as the Rio Earth Summit and the adoption of Agenda 21, linking scholarly communities from University of Manchester, University of Leeds, Griffith University, University of Otago and Macquarie University in its early editorial network. Editorial leadership has included scholars connected to University of Leeds, University of Kent, University of Hong Kong, University of Glasgow and Monash University and the journal has evolved alongside milestones like the Kyoto Protocol, the establishment of UN-WTO policy frameworks and the growth of sustainability NGOs such as Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth. Over decades the title has shifted from descriptive case studies in destinations like Galápagos Islands, Machu Picchu, Great Barrier Reef, Serengeti National Park and Venice toward theoretically informed work influenced by debates in World Bank reports, OECD tourism briefs, and the programs of National Trust and Conservation International.
The journal aims to publish interdisciplinary research bridging scholarship from Geography Department, Anthropology Department, Environmental Studies Program, Hospitality Management School and Business School units at universities such as Yale University, Harvard University, Stanford University, London School of Economics and Cornell University. Topics span case studies in destinations like Bhutan, Costa Rica, Iceland, Nepal and Thailand and analyses drawing on frameworks from Sustainable Development Goals, Millennium Development Goals, Convention on Biological Diversity, World Heritage Convention and Ramsar Convention to assess impacts on communities represented by groups such as Maori people, Sami people, Adivasi, First Nations and Aboriginal Australians.
The editorial board comprises academics affiliated with institutions including University of Toronto, University of Sydney, University of Auckland, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and University College London and practitioners from organizations like World Bank Group, International Finance Corporation, ADB (Asian Development Bank), African Development Bank and UNDP. The journal uses double-blind peer review involving reviewers drawn from fields linked to departments such as Geography Department, Sociology Department, Economics Department, Environmental Science Department and Law School at universities including University of California, Berkeley, University of Michigan, University of Pennsylvania, McGill University and Peking University.
The journal is indexed in major bibliographic services and citation databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, ProQuest, JSTOR, Cabell's, Dimensions (digital platform), Google Scholar and specialist indexes used by institutions like National Library of Australia and British Library. Abstracting also appears in discipline-specific aggregators associated with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) bibliographies, United Nations Environment Programme resource lists and academic catalogs at universities such as University of Oxford, University of Cambridge and University of Melbourne.
The journal's impact factor and citation metrics have been discussed in analyses by commentators at Clarivate Analytics, Scimago Lab, Elsevier and independent evaluators affiliated with Research Excellence Framework panels, informing tenure and funding decisions at universities including Imperial College London, University of Edinburgh, King's College London, National University of Singapore and Seoul National University. Its articles have contributed to policy briefs used by UNEP, UNWTO, European Parliament, World Bank and national agencies such as Australian Government Department of Agriculture and influenced stakeholder debates in destinations like Bali, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Santorini and New York City.
Notable contributions have examined overtourism in cities such as Venice, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Dubrovnik and Prague; community-based tourism in locales like Chiang Mai, Kerala, Cusco, Ghana and Fiji; and conservation-tourism interfaces in Galápagos Islands, Yellowstone National Park, Kruger National Park, Great Barrier Reef and Komodo National Park. Special issues have focused on themes tied to events such as the Paris Agreement, the Rio+20 conference, the Sustainable Development Summit, the COP climate conferences and the World Parks Congress with guest editors from United Nations Environment Programme, IUCN, Conservation International, The Nature Conservancy and leading universities.
