Call for papers
Green Events and Green Tourism: an international guide to good practice
Definitions and scope
Green Events and Green Tourism: an international guide to good practice will comprise case
studies that demonstrate best practice in a range of small to mega events, including sports
events, festivals and cultural events, conferences and exhibitions. Case studies may also
illustrate best practice in event spaces and venues. In terms of best practice in tourism
management, case studies are encouraged that highlight the work done by leading
organisations in post-conflict, post-disaster or post-colonial destinations as well as within
established or emerging destinations.
Case studies should demonstrate the integration of sustainability and responsibility into
strategy, operations and products in order to have a positive transformational impact on the
social and environmental challenges we face. Case studies which highlight innovation are
particularly welcome.

Your chapter must be your own original and unpublished work (not included in an online
case collection such as the Case Centre) of no more than 4,000 words (all inclusive) and must
follow the section structure below. The suggested content and word count for each section is
an approximate guide, but note that the use of a case study must be highly evident in your
chapter:
1. National context: introductory facts about the event/venue/destination to provide an
overview (250 words)
2. Priority issues: data on economic, social and environmental challenges or intentions (250
words)
3. Trends: findings from research (studies or surveys) on green events, green venues or green
tourism as relevant to the case study (250 words)
4. Government policies: relevant regional or national legislation and voluntary codes related
to green events/venues/green tourism/the case study (250 words)
5. Main case study: name of the event or destination/details of the strategy or project as
applicable to the event, venue or destination/ outcomes and impacts (1000 words)
6. Similar case studies or relevant projects (750 words)
7. Further resources: up to five business associations or suppliers active in green events or
green tourism (150 words)

Format, style and references
Your chapter should be submitted as a Word document, with single-spaced, 12 pt Times New
Roman font and simple headings (bold) and sub-headings (bold italic). The style of writing
should be applied/professional rather than theoretical/academic. The chapter is descriptive
rather than exploratory or normative, with an emphasis on practice rather than theory. You
are writing the chapter as an expert. Avoid using footnotes, endnotes and many references.
Reference to specific studies or sources should be within the text.
Language
If English is not your first language, you must have your chapter reviewed by a colleague
whose first language is English before submitting your first draft. Please include the
reviewer’s name and email address when you submit your draft chapter.
Greenleaf Publishing offers an English Language Editing service to authors who do not have
English as a first language and feel they would benefit from more advanced copy-editing. For
more information, please email authors@greenleaf-publishing.com.
Authors and biographies
In addition to your 4,000-word chapter, each author must submit a maximum 100 word
biography. Note that authors can only be individuals, not institutions. All authors will be listed
as contributing authors in a section at the front of the book. Only the editors (Hugues
Séraphin and Emma Nolan) will be named on the front cover and in bibliographic and online
listings of the book. Each author will receive a free author copy of the published book, as well
