The Central Asian Journal of Tourism and Regulation Policy (CAJTRP) is an international, open-access, and peer-reviewed academic journal that aims to advance rigorous research in the fields of tourism policy, regulatory frameworks, and sustainable tourism development, particularly within the context of Central Asia. The journal is committed to providing a high-quality scholarly outlet for interdisciplinary studies that investigate the formulation, implementation, and impact of tourism-related policies and regulations across different levels of governance. By addressing complex issues at the intersection of public policy, law, economics, and tourism management, CAJTRP contributes to the academic discourse on how regulatory mechanisms shape tourism development strategies, governance models, institutional coordination, and socio-economic outcomes.

The journal encourages the submission of original empirical research, theoretical analyses, policy evaluations, and comparative case studies that critically examine tourism regulation and policy formation within a regional and international framework. It seeks to foster dialogue among academic scholars, government officials, development agencies, and industry practitioners on the evolving dynamics of regulatory transformation, sustainable planning, legal reform, public-private cooperation, and transboundary tourism initiatives. A key emphasis is placed on the examination of tourism as a driver of economic diversification, regional integration, and cultural diplomacy, particularly in post-Soviet and developing contexts.

The editorial board of CAJTRP is composed of leading scholars and professionals from diverse academic backgrounds, ensuring a comprehensive and interdisciplinary peer-review process. All submissions are evaluated through a rigorous double-blind peer-review system to maintain academic integrity, methodological rigor, and thematic relevance. The journal adheres to ethical publishing standards in accordance with COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines. By cultivating a platform for knowledge exchange and critical inquiry, CAJTRP aspires to become a regional and global reference point in tourism regulation studies, policy analysis, and sustainable development research. It welcomes contributions in English and supports authors from emerging economies to amplify diverse academic voices in the global conversation on tourism policy and governance.
