Introduction

Article Type: Editorial From: Worldwide Hospitality and Tourism Themes, Volume 2, Issue 5

Welcome to Worldwide Hospitality and Tourism Themes (WHATT)Vol. 2, No. 5. Our aim is to make a practical and theoretical contribution to the sustainable development of the worldwide hospitality and tourism industry. Each theme issue addresses a significant industry challenge – starting from a strategic question and leading to outcomes that are practical and implementable. To accomplish this task, theme editors assemble a team of academics who collaborate with industry practitioners in the analysis and development of possible solutions. I should like to thank Vinnie Jauhari and her team of contributors for their fascinating study of spiritual and cultural tourism in India.

If you have an idea for a theme issue that will yield new insights on a key issue for the industry, do please contact me.
