Subject: TOURISM REVIEW INTERNATIONAL * Travelers with Specialized Needs

Tourism Review International is a peer-reviewed journal that advances
excellence in tourism research, promotes high-level tourism knowledge,
and nourishes cultural awareness in all sectors of the tourism industry
by integrating industry and academic perspectives.  Its international
and interdisciplinary nature ensures that the needs of those interested
in tourism are served by documenting industry practices, discussing
tourism management and planning issues, providing a forum for primary
research and critical examinations of previous research, and by
chronicling changing tourism patterns and trends at the local, regional
and global scale.

The journal publishes both regular issues, and special issues that focus
on a wide-variety of topics, including: Japanese tourism, culinary
tourism, sports tourism and female travelers.  This special issue on
"Travelers with Specialized Needs" was guest edited by Dr. Maggie
Daniels of George Mason University.  It was a privilege to work with her
and all the contributing authors, who provided valuable insights on this
poorly understood topic (see below). As well, I would like to thank the
numerous referees, who also made this issue a success.

This issue will be available for download shortly from Ingenta. TRI is
now accepting general manuscript submissions for 9(4) by email. If you
have an inquiries relating to the journal please direct them to my new
address at the University of South Carolina, USA.

Sincerely,
