• Can we represent ourselves without the others?, or the (new) contemporary tourist identities,

• Food history and gastronomic narratives,

• Ethics and sustainability in contemporary tourism – a need or a strategy?

• History of tourism,

• Innovation and tourism: good practices in tourism development,

• The new tourism heritage representations in the 21st century,
