Guidelines for authors
1- All copyrights are reserved to the publisher.
2- Formatting requirements
(a)- Manuscripts should be prepared using British English.
(b)- Manuscripts should be typed in MS Word, font 12, Times New Roman.
(c)- If your article includes any Videos and/or other Supplementary material, this should be included in your initial submission for peer review purposes.
(d)- Divide the article into clearly defined sections.
3- Figures and tables embedded in text:
Please ensure the figures and tables are placed next to the relevant text in the manuscript, rather than at the bottom or the top of the file. Ensure that each illustration has a caption. The corresponding caption should be placed directly below the figure or above the table. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.
Subdivision - numbered sections
Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered
1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to 'the text'. Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line.
Literature Review
A Literature Review section should extend, not repeat, the background to the article already dealt with in the Introduction and lay the foundation for further work. In contrast, a Calculation section represents a practical development from a theoretical basis.
Material and Methods
Provide sufficient details to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described.
A concise and factual abstract is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. References should be avoided. Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself. The abstract should not exceed 150 words.
6- Keywords:
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 5 keywords, avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts
7- Figure captions:
Ensure that each illustration has a caption. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.
8- Tables:
Please submit tables as editable text and not as images. Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text and place any table notes below the table body. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in them do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. Please avoid using vertical rules and shading in table cells.
9- The style of references mentioned:
The International Journal of Tourism and hospitality Studies (IJTHS) uses the conventional Harvard referencing technique.
The reference list should be arranged in alphabetical order.
Examples:
In-text citations:
In case of three or more authors, use et al. (Emanuel et al., 2010)

10- Web references:
As a minimum, the full URL should be given and the date when the reference was last accessed. Any further information, if known (DOI, author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list.
