The aim of the conference is to exchange knowledge and experiences in the fields of information systems and communication technologies applied to tourism. To this end, the aim is to create a framework for understanding and collaboration between university researchers in information and communication technologies and professionals from companies and institutions in the tourism sector. The conference will offer, on the one hand, a series of presentations and round tables with the participation of different representatives of the tourism sector, belonging to organisations and companies of relevance in tourism strategy and innovation. On the other hand, presentations of the scientific contributions sent by the authors will be developed, which will be framed in the three main thematic axes defined as areas of interest for the current edition of the conference. Finally, there will be a session for the presentation of technological solutions by tourism companies, as well as a workshop dedicated to digitalisation in the blue tourism sector.
