NOTICES
Condolences
We at AJHTL, would like to express our deepest sympathies and condolences to the family and colleagues of Prof Melville Saayman of the North-West University (NWU), on his sad and premature passing. He was a wonderful and approachable friend and a highly esteemed colleague who was very proud of us as a pioneering African journal. Melville was only too willing to offer us advice towards improvement. He reviewed numerous articles for AJHTL from 2015-2016 and was meticulous in his accurate reviews. He was also a world-renowned researcher in Tourism and was the most published tourism academic in South Africa, with 245 peer-reviewed articles, many of which appeared in AJHTL over the years. May the Lord rest his soul and comfort his family and friends.
From 2019 it is recommended that authors provide their once-off ORCID iD in each of their submission details.
This is, however, not mandatory.

OUR ESTEEMED EDITOR IN CHIEF
Willem J.L. Coetzee, (PhD) serves in the Department of Tourism at the University of Otago in New Zealand. Overall, his research theme is within the nexus of tourism, with a focus on (i) protected areas, sustainability, small town tourism and World heritage sites and (ii) mega and hallmark events. He has explored specific issues among stakeholders in and around protected areas in Southern Africa and the impacts of nature based tourism on surrounding communities. His recent publications revolve around perceptions and consumer behaviours of attendees at sporting events (for example the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa) as well as music events, such as the Cape Town and Johannesburg Jazz Festivals. Willem has been involved in a range of tourism supply-and-demand projects in small towns and the formulation of tourism masterplans for such communities.

Guidelines relating to Special Issue/Edition requests
The AJHTL aim of publishing up to 2 special issues per annum is to provide a respectable international medium for researchers to share their valued research endeavours as this contributes to the propagation of new and important scientific data and knowledge.
The key function of the Guest Editor of a Special Issue/Edition, will be to communicate with AJHTL and prospective authors regularly, and send papers and also the AJHTL review template to the reviewers selected by the Special Issue/Edition hosts. The template must be used and track changes must be made on all articles submitted by the reviewers with their important comments. These track change documents must be sent to AJHTL as the are submitted by their reviewers and authors. Ideally all 12-14 articles should be submitted to AJHTL simultaneously after guest reviewing is done.
The deadline for the publication of the special issue will be posted online- no articles will be accepted after the given date. Note that only 12-14 articles or less will be accepted depending on their quality and academic rigour.
Proposals for Special Issues should include the following:
(1) Why the AJHTL has been selected as the journal in which the special issue is programmed to be published.
(2) A succinct and informative title for the special issue, such as a conference name etc.
(3) What the specific aims and scope for the special issue are.
(4) There must be a submission of a concise editorial statement for the special issue
in which the scope etc. are unpacked.
(5) The ‘Guest’ editor/s name/s, affiliation/s and email/s must be included.
The following terms must be agreed to by Guest editors:
(6) The Call for Papers for the accepted special issue will be posted online.
(7) The Guest Editor/s is/are responsible for sending submitted papers to the reviewers of their choice – using the AJHTL template provided, after which the Guest editor will send the papers to AJHTL who will also further review the papers and ultimately decide on either the acceptability of a submission or its rejection
NB- no reasons need to be given by AJHTL for rejection of a paper.
(8) The Guest Editor must send an email and also the record and status of all papers on a weekly basis, but AJHTL will then, as per point (7) ultimately advise on the acceptance/rejection/ revision and resubmission as applicable, and we will inform the authors of final acceptance/rejection.
(9) AJHTL will invoice the respective authors of accepted articles and these must be paid within the specified time.
