《旅游研究年鉴》是一本以旅游学术观点为中心的社会科学期刊。在努力实现理论与应用的平衡的同时，编年史最终致力于发展理论建构。它的战略是邀请和鼓励来自不同学科的课程；作为一个论坛，这些课程可以相互作用；从而扩大旅游社会科学文献中的知识前沿，并为其做出贡献。在这个角色中，编年史既有结构，又由多学科学者群体的研究成果构成。
Annals of Tourism Research is a social sciences journal focusing upon the academic perspectives of tourism. While striving for a balance of theory and application, Annals is ultimately dedicated to developing theoretical constructs. Its strategies are to invite and encourage offerings from various disciplines; to serve as a forum through which these may interact; and thus to expand frontiers of knowledge in and contribute to the literature on tourism social science. In this role, Annals both structures and is structured by the research efforts of a multidisciplinary community of scholars.
