On November 16, 17 and 18 took place at Costa Adeje the XIX Congress of AECIT (Association of Scientific Experts in Tourism) under the motto Times of Changes in Tourism. The congress follows the model established a few years ago, a biannual celebration structured in working groups. These working groups are presented in an open way which means that the participants themselves define the structure (it is organized months in advance). The XIX AECIT Congress has been an extraordinary meeting point for academics and researchers in tourism. More than 96 communications from different universities of the State and from different American countries (Mexico, Panama, Brazil …). The organization has been exceptional so we want to congratulate the technical secretariat of the congress: Magna Congresos. The participation of EU Mediterrani with 5 communications (ordered by order of presentation to the congress) carried out within the two EU Mediterranean research groups: the research group of the Tourism Degree: Image, Satisfaction and Tourist Behavior (ISTB) and The Marketing Degree in Innovative Systems of Monetization, Journalism, Marketing and Digital Tourism (SIMPED) presented by Josep Maria Espinet, Mònica Muñoz and Elena Puiggròs (in alphabetical order):
