India’s remarkable tourism & hospitality development growth history and current trends has drawn mounting attention not only from domestic and international investors for its business opportunities but also from academic researchers worldwide. Moreover, the speedy growth of tourism and hospitality in India has been accompanied by a surge in the tourism & hospitality research literature. During last two decades several research journals in hospitality and tourism has emerged to void gap in tourism & hospitality literature in India. Academic researchers have long advocated the importance of quality and industry oriented research for assessing their academic credential (Leiper ,2000; Ferreira, et.al. ,1998; Ferreira, et al., 1994; Frechtling, 2004; Pechlaner, et. al., 2004; McKercher, 2005; Ryan, 2005; Mc Kercher, et. al., 2006; Faulkner, . and Goeldner, 1998; and Bagri, et al, 2010). However, academicians are required to publish in ‘‘Research Journals” of their or related domain to comply with institutional or nation-wide research assessment exercises, gain promotion or other such reasons. Established disciplines like Management, Engineering & Technology, Pharmacy and others have widely accepted listing of Journals including their hierarchical ratings as well. However, in Hospitality & Tourism Education in India there is no formal listing of Journals of the discipline and thus hierarchal rating perspective vanishes automatically. Often in hospitality & tourism domain university teachers, researchers and higher education funding agencies in India have to rely on their peers for publishing in Academic Journals and often allied or related Journals are chosen to get their research published. Apparently, the process of publication becomes dependent on multidisciplinary, allied or special issue publications and many a times even not reaches to the reached. Also such publications are at best arbitrary, often biased, exclusive and not reflective of the dynamic nature of tourism
