CALL FOR PAPERS THEMATIC EDITION: “PEDAGOGICAL TOURISM: DIFFERENT VIEWS”

2025-01-10

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.

Editorial Note: Workflow normalization and delayed publication of the “Pedagogical Tourism” dossier

The Brazilian Annals of Tourism Studies (ABET) hereby inform readers, authors, and indexing services that, due to operational disruptions in the editorial workflow between late 2025 and early 2026 (particularly related to the interruption of previously contracted editorial services) the journal experienced delays in the evaluation, production, and publication of submitted manuscripts.

As a consequence, a subset of articles approved for the thematic dossier “Pedagogical Tourism”, originally scheduled for publication in 2025, has been published in the 2026 editorial cycle.

In accordance with international best practices in editorial transparency and research integrity, as recommended by the COPE, the DOAJ, and metadata standards maintained by Crossref, the journal has implemented the following measures:

  1. Publication of articles with updated metadata (year, volume, and issue corresponding to 2026) to ensure bibliographic consistency and proper indexing;
  2. Explicit preservation of thematic and editorial linkage to the “Pedagogical Tourism” dossier (2025) through formal indication in both the articles and the issue structure;
  3. Inclusion of explanatory notes in the affected articles, clarifying the delayed publication;
  4. Organization of a dedicated thematic section within the current issue, grouping articles associated with the original dossier.

These measures are intended to ensure:

  • the integrity of the scholarly record,
  • editorial transparency,
  • and the thematic continuity of academic contributions.

The editorial board reaffirms its commitment to the full normalization of the journal’s editorial workflow and to strict adherence to international standards of quality, ethics, and traceability in scholarly publishing.
