Research Methodologies for Sustainable Tourism

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainability is one of the leading scientific journals that covers different aspects of this important subject. The importance of sustainable tourism is being emphasized by many researchers in the 21st century. Tourism is very much driven by sustainable development in all areas: hotels, restaurants, destinations, travel agencies, transport, and others. As such, researching sustainable tourism and choosing an appropriate research design is vital for the development of research in the field of sustainable tourism.

This Special Issue on “Research Methodologies for Sustainable Tourism” will showcase the work of researchers that invest their interests in researching sustainable tourism. Since the research area is relatively new, it is important to share and distribute valid and reliable research instruments with others.

For this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Research designs for sustainable events,
• Research designs for sustainable destinations,
• Research designs for sustainable hotels,
• Research designs for sustainable transportation,
• Research designs for sustainable restaurants,
• Research designs for sustainable travel agencies.

I look forward to receiving your contributions in the field of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies for researching sustainable tourism.

Dr. Eva Podovšovnik
Guest Editor
