Ethical and sustainable practices in the hospitality and tourism industry in China
Article Type: Editorial From: International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management, Volume 26, Issue 6
Welcome to the International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management (IJCHM)’s special issue on “ethical and sustainable practices in the hospitality and tourism industry in China”. In 2012, we formed a strategic partnership between IJCHM and the Department of Hospitality and Service Management at the Sun Yat-Sen University’s School of Business (SYSBS). Part of this partnership, IJCHM has established a second editorial office at SYSBS, and Professor Jingyan Liu, Professor Lishan Xie and Dr Xinyuan (Roy) Zhao have guest edited this timely special issue. I am confident that the articles in this special issue will be well received by scholars, students and practicing managers in our field. This special issue is indeed a very strong indication of how the partnership between IJCHM and SYSBS is working and is beneficial not only for both parties but also for the hospitality and tourism industry in China and globally. Next is the guest editors’ editorial for this special issue. I would like take this opportunity and thank Professor Jingyan Liu, Professor Lishan Xie and Dr Xinyuan (Roy) Zhao for guest editing this strong and timely special issue. I would also like to sincerely thank them for their continuous support and contribution to the partnership between IJCHM and SYSBS.
