The staging of the FITUR Jorge Vila Fradera Award has been announced

FITUR will stage the 16th FITUR Jorge Vila Fradera Award in collaboration with the Spanish Association of Tourism Experts, AECIT. This award seeks to promote and disseminate unpublished research on the tourist industry, with a view to boosting competitiveness from the realm of knowledge and know-how. This Award will thus form part of the forthcoming staging of the International Tourism Trade Fair, an event organised by IFEMA to be staged from 28th to 1st February 2015 at FERIA DE MADRID.

An Academic Committee will be set up consisting of members of AECIT, sponsors of the Award and representatives of FITUR, which will be entrusted with establishing the evaluation criteria and choosing the four Finalists, who shall be presented during the AECIT Conference due to be staged within the framework of FITUR 2015. The Committee will also present the winner on this occasion.

The Award, which is of an international nature and is presented on an annual basis, is open to the entire academic community linked to the industry. Entries must be presented in Spanish in computerised format (CD-ROM, preferably using Windows), featuring a maximum length of 150 pages, before 28th November 2014 (Apdo. de Correos 67.067 - 28080 Madrid).

The winner will be announced during the course of FITUR 2015 and, subsequently, the work shall be published in Spanish, with the Editor Group being entrusted with the corresponding distribution and marketing throughout Spain, the European Union, the Latin American nations and the rest of the world.
