Final Abstract (Paper) Submission Guidelines
Final Submission
For final submission, all the authors MUST submit revised three-page abstracts after being notified of acceptance to the conference.
Authors who want to be considered for Best Paper Awards also submit full papers in addition to revised three-page abstracts. Best Paper Awards will be competitively selected by the Paper Review Committee. Full papers should be limited to twenty single-spaced pages (MS Word only) including references.
Final Proceedings
The conference proceedings will be distributed on Flash Drives without ISSN at the APTA conference. It is our principle that conference proceedings will include three-page abstracts only in order to avoid potential plagiarism issues since authors may publish the same or similar papers in other journals. However, it is still possible for authors to indicate on the submission website that they prefer to have their Full Papers included in the conference proceedings. In these cases, full papers will be included in the proceedings (However, please be aware of the potential for plagiarism issues).
Please make sure to follow the suggested template provided below.
[IMPORTANT] The best paper of the conference including those included in the shortlist will be invited to be published in the journal of Tourism Clitiques: Practice and Theory upon the agreement of author(s). For more information of the journal , please click the above link.
