Given the importance of planning and development issues in tourism, such as optimising the sector's contribution to socio-economic development, sustainability and resource-use planning, capacity planning, strategic infrastructure planning and forecasting, structural activity re-alignments, the implications of advances in information technology and the relationship between globalisation and tourism, this journal focuses on bringing together researchers and practitioners, individuals and organisations interested in both the theoretical and the practical aspects of planning and development. Tourism Planning & Development aims to provide a forum for the publication and dissemination of new and original theoretical and applied research on tourism planning and development issues through fully refereed research papers. At the same time, it also aims to encourage international dialogue through viewpoint articles or shorter pieces designed to stimulate ideas and discussion and/or to present work in progress that has not been developed to a stage suitable for publication as a fully refereed paper. In particular, it seeks to encourage contributions from new researchers and/or work new geographic or socio-cultural settings . The contextual scope for Tourism Planning & Development is considerable; planning and development issues extend from the macro to the micro level, from global concerns to those associated with the individual organisations, specific destinations or certain social groupings, while the conceptual scope encompasses issues and techniques from, for example, multivariate forecasting to the application of phenomenological research to particular tourism contexts. The unifying element of these two arenas is planning and development.
