26TH FITUR-JORGE VILA FRADERA TRIBUNE - FITUR 2025

#01 FITUR announces the 26th edition of the FITUR-Jorge Vila Fradera Tribune, with the collaboration of AECIT.

#02 The aim of this call is to select an unpublished work of research in the field of tourism, publish it and disseminate its publication in the academic and training world.

#03 This is an annual call for papers.

#04 Works must be submitted in Spanish, by natural persons of legal age.

#05 The geographical scope of the research work is international.

#06 A Technical-Scientific Selection Committee will be formed from among the members of AECIT, which will include the sponsors of this Tribune and representatives of FITUR. This Committee will be chaired by a member of the AECIT Board of Directors and will have a casting vote in the event of a tie. It may select a maximum of one work, and the decision may be declared void.

#07 The Selection Committee will establish objective scales for the evaluation of the works presented.

#08 The Committee's decision will be irrevocable.

#09 The Technical-Scientific Committee will select a maximum of four finalist works, which will be presented at the technical conference organised by AECIT during FITUR. In order to obtain the award, the selected work must have been presented by the author or one of its authors at the technical conference. The presentation must be made in person. Only in the case of force majeure will electronic presentation be permitted, and such force majeure must be duly justified. In any case, it will be up to the members of the Technical-Scientific Committee to decide whether the reason given for the telematic presentation is adequately justified. Finally, the Technical-Scientific Committee will give preference to papers submitted in person.
