As Vice Chancellor of the University of the Balearic Islands, it is my honour to jointly present the International Journal of Tourism, Travel and Hospitality Law, coordinated by Professor Carlos Torres at the Estoril Higher Institute for Tourism and Hotel Studies (ESHTE) in Portugal. We live in a globalised world and the tourism sector involves major legal challenges that deserve analysis. The International Journal of Tourism, Travel and Hospitality Law aims to contribute to the study of all legal challenges involving the tourism sector globally. The Tourism Travel and Hospitality Law research group, coordinated by Carlos Torres, endorses the excellence of researchers to be published. The group comprises sector specialists from across the globe and has produced excellent results, both at international conferences and in terms of publications, which can be viewed at https://tourismlaw.pt. The Tourism Travel and Hospitality Law group has worked on contemporary issues including Sustainable Tourism, the new Package Travel Directive, Wine Law, Competition Law in Tourism, Tourism Law in Europe and the Americas, as well as the legal impacts of COVID- 19 on the Travel, Tourism and Hospitality Industry. As Vice Chancellor of a university located on an island that mainly lives from the tourism sector, I can corroborate the importance and need for serious legal studies that look into current issues impacting the sector. We are pleased that professors from the University of the Balearic Islands are part of this project. Professors who have collaborated for many years with researchers from universities such as the Sorbonne Law School, University of Salamanca, University of Milan- -Bicocca, University of Sassari, University of Calabria, to name but a few. I congratulate the initiative underlying the International Journal of Tourism, Travel and Hospitality Law. The journal’s quality publications will undoubtedly benefit the tourism sector.
