Subject: Tourism Review International - Special Issue on Female Travelers - Part 1

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 "Female Travelers - Part 1" was guest edited by Dr. Heather Bowen at the University of New Hampshire.  It was a privilege to work with her and all the contributing authors, who provided valuable insights into this topic area (see below). As well, I would like to thank the numerous referees, who also made this issue a success.

This issue is available Cognizant Communication Corporation at http://www.cognizantcommunication.com/. TRI is now accepting general manuscript submissions for 10(4) by email. If you have any inquiries relating to the journal please direct them to my new address and email at the University of South Carolina, USA.

Sincerely,
