The Transformation of Tourism pushes the thinkers of this industry to seek new goals and discover in the endogenous development of tourist destinations, the opportunities to connect training with practice and exercise. In this commitment, the academy exercises its greatest strength in the training of professionals who act and become involved in the dynamics of the tourism industry, activating among the techniques and methodologies significant results of being and doing of the students.

The activities referenced in this edition are examples of what has been said and the positive response of the academic actors of The Bachelor of Business in Tourism and Hotel Management Program who have pointed out some ways of finding the full benefit of their professional profile in the development of events and the actions of tourism.

In this sense, the articulation of disciplines in tourism encourages the consolidated practices of this field that tends to belong and focuses on the social sciences and to find in its object of study all the variables that link together for the recognition of science and not only of discipline.

concerning this matter, we work to contribute more and greater value to our actors and readers.
