When you join the Tourism & Leisure Studies Research Network you become part of an international network of scholars, researchers, and practitioners. We are more than a professional organization. Members can present at our annual conference, publish in our journal, and write for our book imprint. Your membership makes our independent organization possible while giving you access to a large body of knowledge and professional development opportunities.

Additional Membership Benefits in 2024-2025

The Journal of Tourism and Leisure Studies is flipping from a subscription-based to a Gold Open Access publication model (OA) in 2024. This means that the final published version of all articles (or Version of Record) will be permanently and freely available online for anyone, anywhere, to read.

In an effort to assist our Members in the transition to Open Access, we are allocating enough Points to fully cover the Article Publication Charge (APC) for both current and new members for the years 2024/2025.

You can become a member in one of two ways: annual Membership is included with any Presenter Pass conference registration, or by purchasing a standalone Membership.
