Author Guidelines

JOURNAL PRESENTATION

Ateliê do Turismo (AT) is an open-access electronic scientific journal published on a continuous publication model by the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS). It publishes original contributions that advance knowledge in Tourism and Hospitality, including their various interfaces with other fields of knowledge.

The journal’s mission is to provide a qualified space for dialogue, dissemination and scientific reflection, promoting accessibility and the dissemination of academic and professional studies related to Tourism, Hospitality and Leisure. With national and international scope, it accepts contributions written in Portuguese, Spanish and English.

Ateliê do Turismo adopts a double-blind peer review process, except for Viewpoint manuscripts, which are evaluated exclusively by the editors. Manuscripts with incorrect formatting will be returned to the author(s) without review.

THEMATIC AXES

The journal organises its editorial line into two complementary thematic axes. Authors must indicate, at the time of submission, the axis to which the manuscript is linked.

Axis 1 — Tourism, Territory and Society

This axis welcomes research that analyses tourism as a social, cultural, historical, geographical and environmental phenomenon. It prioritises qualitative and interpretative approaches, without excluding mixed-methods studies, and connects tourism with topics such as identity, memory, heritage, territory, communities, sustainability, traditional peoples, gender, race, leisure and hospitality. Theoretical contributions with deeper reflective scope and studies that engage with the humanities and social sciences are welcome.

Exemplary topics:

• Tourism and Indigenous and traditional peoples
• Cultural and intangible heritage
• Community-based tourism
• Tourism and territorial development
• Image and representation of destinations
• Hospitality and otherness
• Tourism, leisure and everyday life
• Tourism and issues of gender, race and class
• Tourism, memory and identity
• Tourism and socio-environmental sustainability
• Tourism, humanities and social sciences

Axis 2 — Tourism, Management and Innovation

This axis welcomes research oriented towards management, planning, public policies and innovation in the field of tourism and hospitality. It includes quantitative and econometric studies, destination marketing, consumer behaviour, competitiveness, technology applied to tourism, governance and management of tourism organisations. Mixed-methods studies and applied research with a direct contribution to sectoral practice or policy formulation are also accepted.

Exemplary topics:

• Management of tourist destinations
• Regional and urban tourism planning
• Public tourism policies
• Destination marketing and consumer behaviour
• Destination competitiveness
• Technological innovation and digital transformation in tourism
• Governance of tourism organisations

CONTINUOUS PUBLICATION AND THEMATIC DOSSIERS

Ateliê do Turismo adopts the continuous publication model: as soon as an article is approved and edited, it is published immediately, without waiting for the closure of an issue. This practice follows international trends in scientific publishing.

The exception applies to thematic dossiers, whose publication is subject to the opening of specific calls proposed by one or more invited organiser(s). Calls for dossiers are published on the journal website and on Ateliê do Turismo’s social media channels.
