It is our pleasure and honour to share that the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management (JHTM) has reached several important milestones in its continued growth and development.

Following its recognition as an A* journal by ABDC, the latest metrics released in June 2026 reflect a significant increase in the journal’s impact. JHTM has achieved an SSCI impact factor of 10.1 and a CiteScore of 14.6. These results not only reaffirm its Q1 status, but also place it 6th globally in the field of Tourism, Hospitality, Leisure, and Sports.

These achievements reflect the growing influence of JHTM within our research community and, most importantly, the trust and strong engagement of its contributors.

We would like to sincerely thank all those who support JHTM – including our authors, reviewers, editorial board members, associate editors, social media engagement officer, and readers. Your commitment, expertise, and contributions are deeply valued. We look forward to continuing our collaboration as we further strengthen the journal’s impact and reach.
