II. Scope & Description

The Journal of Heritage TourismJHTis a peerreviewed international transdisciplinary journal. JHT focuses on exploring the many facets of one of the most notable and widespread types of tourism. Heritage tourism is among the very oldest forms of travel. Activities such as visits to sites of historical importance including built environments and urban areas rural and agricultural landscapes natural regions locations where historic events occurred and places where interesting and significant living cultures dominate are all forms of heritage tourism. As such this form of tourism dominates the industry in many parts of the world and involves millions of people. During the past 20 years the study of tourism has become highly fragmented and specialised into various theme areas or concentrations. Within this context heritage tourism is one of the most commonly investigated forms of tourism and hundreds of scholars and industry workers are involved in researching its dynamics and concepts. This academic attention has resulted in the publication of hundreds of refereed articles in various scholarly media yet until now there has been no journal devoted specifically to heritage tourismJournal of Heritage Tourism was launched to fill this gap. JHT seeks to critically examine all aspects of heritage tourism. Some of the topics to be explored within the context of heritage tourism will include colonial heritage commodification interpretation urban renewal religious tourism genealogy patriotism nostalgia folklore power funding contested heritage historic sites identity industrial heritage marketing conservation ethnicity education and indigenous heritage.
