Aim for the Special Edition

Pedagogical Tourism is considered a type of tourism that not only provides education, learning, and new memories for students but also benefits others involved in the process of educating and travelling— or, more accurately, travelling to educate. This practice enables what Geraldi (2010) calls “classes as events.”

As Freire (2003) noted, education is a political act, an aesthetic experience, a process of scientific training, and an ethical manifestation. It encompasses a range of complex principles tied to the construction and exchange of knowledge between individuals and involves different dynamics within the movement.

As Andriolo (2012) suggested, there are as many travel styles as there are periods in human life. Pedagogical Tourism, as a practice centred on educational movement, particularly targets children and adolescents from kindergarten through elementary and high school. Understanding these groups’ aspirations, desires, singularities, and needs is crucial to humanizing pedagogical itineraries. It is also vital to recognize the growing valorization of children’s and adolescents’ knowledge and worldviews, thus broadening their understanding of their own reality.

This Special Edition aims to bridge the interface between Tourism and Education. It invites researchers and professionals from these fields to engage in practical and academic dialogue on this theme, thus broadening perspectives.

Theme and Related Matters

  • Understanding the concepts of Pedagogical Tourism, Educational Tourism, Student Tourism, and Exchange Program Tourism, focusing on incursions into territories adjacent to educational institutions or organizations, returning to foundational concepts such as Freinet’s (1973) field trips.

  • Analysis of specific institutional programs and projects guiding Educational Tourism, as well as public policies at the municipal, state, and federal levels, along with international projects and legislation.

  • Research reports involving professionals working in Educational Tourism as a market segment.

  • Research involves educators accompanying students on field trips and other pedagogical activities “outside of school.”

  • Case studies related to Educational Tourism ventures.

  • Perceptions of students, particularly children and adolescents, who have had experiences as tourists, with attention to the unique characteristics of this age group, which are often underrepresented in tourism literature (Timothy & Poria, 2014; Canosa, Graham, Wilson, 2019; Canosa & Graham, 2022; Zhong & Peng, 2021; Kushano, 2023).

  • Possible correlations with travel dynamics include spatial representations of the trip, conflicts or intercultural differences experienced by participants, and mediation practices employed with children.

The dialogue surrounding Educational Tourism, viewed from diverse perspectives, seeks to understand the meanings and collective efforts required to ensure a memorable, inclusive, environmentally sustainable, and ethical experience for the social actors involved and their surroundings. Simultaneously, it encourages practices aimed at children and young people to occupy a more prominent space in the scientific agenda of Tourism, especially by allowing them to present their understanding of the world.
