A manuscript must report original empirical findings or theoretical developments relevant to the journal’s scope. Topics may include, but are not limited to, tourism business and entrepreneurship, hospitality management, destination management, sustainable tourism, tourism marketing and consumer behavior, community-based tourism, cultural and heritage tourism, ecotourism, halal and Muslim-friendly tourism, tourism planning and policy, tourism economics, travel technology, and tourism innovation.

Submitted research articles should demonstrate a clearly stated research problem, appropriate engagement with relevant literature, a sound and transparent methodology, meaningful findings, and a discussion of the study’s contribution and implications. The manuscript must be written in clear academic English and prepared using the official INTOUR template.

INTOUR normally expects manuscripts to contain 6,000–8,500 words, including references, in accordance with the Author Guidelines. All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration by another journal. Eligible manuscripts undergo editorial screening and, if they meet the journal’s requirements, double-blind peer review by at least two independent reviewers. Peer Review Process
