OPEN ACCESS POLICY

TOBA: Journal of Tourism, Hospitality, and Destination, published by Yayasan Literasi Sains Indonesia, provides immediate open access to everything that it publishes. The journal believes that free access supports the exchange of knowledge around the world, and that research on tourism, hospitality, and destinations is most useful when researchers, practitioners, destination managers, policymakers, and communities can read it without barriers.

This policy follows the principles of the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI).
