The Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change (JTCC) is a peer-reviewed, transdisciplinary and transnational journal edited by Professor Mike Robinson (Sheffield Hallam University, UK) and Dr Alison Phipps (University of Glasgow, UK). This new journal focuses on critically examining the relationships, tensions, representations, conflicts and possibilities that exist between tourism/travel and culture/cultures in a rapidly changing and increasingly complex global context. Global capitalism, in its myriad forms engages with multiple 'ways of being', generating new relationships, re-evaluating existing, and challenging ways of knowing and being. Tourists and the tourism industry continue to find inventive ways to commodify, transform, present/re-present and consume "culture". The JTCC seeks to widen and deepen understandings of such changing relationships and stimulate critical debate. The JTCC seeks to address fundamental issues such as

• Local-global connectivity, transculturation and global ideological frameworks;
• The making and re-making of places, identities and pasts;
• The erosion, resistance and survival of traditions and local/ethnic cultural pattern;
• The changing forms of cultural expression in the contexts of the pre- and post- industrial, pre- and post-modern and the post-colonial world.
• The powerful creative dimension to tourism and cultural change that emerges in language and translation through approaches of literature, travel writing, language education, film, art and varieties of performance.
