PUBLICATION DETAILS - a brief history and focus
AJHTL is owned by Africajournals, and is an ACCREDITED journal founded in 2004 by the work of Prof Dr Angelo Nicolaides of South Africa who was also its First Editor in Chief. He realized that a great need existed for such a journal on the African continent and it is indeed one of a kind as it promotes multi, inter and transdisciplinary research related to tourism, hospitality and leisure. Prof Dr Angelo Nicolaides was succeeded by Prof Dr Athena Smith of Florida, USA, followed by Dr. Willie Coetzee of Otago University, New Zealand and has also been immensely supported by Prof Dr Guido Migliaccio of the University of Sannio, Italy who have all helped to raise the standing of the journal as has our last EIC Prof. Tembi Tichhawa. Today it proudly resides in the top 100 global Tourism, Hospitality and Leisure journals sitting at position 95 on Scimago Scientific Journal Rankings.
