and private agents in the
industry, contributing to orientate its
development, especially in the
province of Huelva and Andalusia

OUR IDENTITY
Vision Statement
We will be different because of our capacity to
penetrate into the reality of the tourist industry
for a better understanding of its needs and
changes, contributing viable new ideas and
solutions coming from the study and the
scientific research.
We will work considering public administrations,
companies and other social agents in the sector
as strategic allies, trying to be close to them,
favoring a mutual comprehension and the
generation of a trusting climate...

OUR IDENTITY
Principles

We want to be a dynamic and ambitious

Group, open to innovation and pursuing the
utopia of perfection in what their members
do.
We will not conform to stagnation,
mediocrity or to remaining in either
academic or social anonymity.
We will always make an effort to continue
growing as research professionals. We
will not assume the existence of a limit or a
final state.

be published, mainly, in books and

academic journals, both national

impact. Furthermore, GEIDETUR has
