About

Perspectives in Asian Leisure and Tourism is an academic journal that welcomes all topics in the fields of leisure, tourism, and hospitality. Asia is a natural focus given the quickly growing nature of leisure and tourism in that part of the planet in the 21st century. However, our readers and authors are located in all parts of the world and share an interest in these topics. As such, we welcome all related submissions to the fields of leisure, tourism, and hospitality.

Focus and Scope

Perspectives in Asian Leisure and Tourism publishes articles that reflect emerging knowledge across all areas of leisure, tourism, and hospitality.
