《旅游研究年鑒》是一本以旅游學(xué)術(shù)觀點為中心的社會科學(xué)期刊。在努力實現(xiàn)理論與應(yīng)用的平衡的同時，編年史最終致力于發(fā)展理論建構(gòu)。它的戰(zhàn)略是邀請和鼓勵來自不同學(xué)科的課程；作為一個論壇，這些課程可以相互作用；從而擴(kuò)大旅游社會科學(xué)文獻(xiàn)中的知識前沿，并為其做出貢獻(xiàn)。在這個角色中，編年史既有結(jié)構(gòu)，又由多學(xué)科學(xué)者群體的研究成果構(gòu)成。

Annals of Tourism Research is a social sciences journal focusing upon the academic perspectives of tourism. While striving for a balance of theory and application, Annals is ultimately dedicated to developing theoretical constructs. Its strategies are to invite and encourage offerings from various disciplines; to serve as a forum through which these may interact; and thus to expand frontiers of knowledge in and contribute to the literature on tourism social science. In this role, Annals both structures and is structured by the research efforts of a multidisciplinary community of scholars.
