Tourism Industry
ARTICLES

After consulting reference works and circulating books on your topic, you are ready to begin looking for articles in journals, magazines, and newspapers.

Articles are typically useful for their up-to-date and focused treatment of subjects.  However, there are many different kinds of articles--popular, trade, scholarly, etc.--each having different merits and drawbacks.  In fact, some professors will stipulate that you use only certain types of articles in your assignments.  For more information on the different types of articles, see the Rosen Research guide on Scholarly, Trade, or Popular? (A Guide to Understanding Periodicals).

The following periodicals are available in print at the Rosen Library and may contain helpful information about the Tourism industry.  A    denotes a scholarly (peer-reviewed) source.

Some hospitality periodicals, such as International Journal of Tourism Research and Tourism Geographies, are moving from print to electronic versions. You can find these and other periodicals online by clicking on Online Journals and typing in the journal title.

In addition, special issues of periodicals often contain statistics, reports, and other current industry information that can be difficult to find elsewhere. See the Special Journal Issues page for more information.

Just as with browsing the book stacks, browsing the periodical shelves helps to better familiarize you with the subject and may lead you to several useful sources, but it can also cause you to overlook many useful sources.
