The International Tourism Congress of the Universitat Jaume I has opened its twenty-fifth edition, which this year has as its theme "25 years of tourism transformation: looking to the future with guarantees". The opening ceremony was attended by the rector of the UJI, Eva Alcón; the regional secretary of Tourism, Francesc Colomer; the president of the Provincial Council of Castelló, José Martí; the executive president of the Universitat Jaume I-Business Foundation, Carlos Cabrera; the vice-rector for Culture, Languages and Society, Carmen Lázaro; the director of the congress, Rafael Lapiedra, and the honorary president of the FUE-UJI, Rafael Benavent.

Eva Alcón thanked all the work done during these 25 years and congratulated the congress for the recent award Turisme Comunitat Valenciana 2022 to the tourism trajectory granted by the Generalitat Valenciana. The Rector of the UJI stressed "the importance of having a space for reflection and debate like this to share knowledge and propose solutions, especially in the current context of uncertainty, because the best decisions are those that are taken taking into account scientific knowledge". In this sense, she announced that the UJI is going to go a step further in promoting research in tourism and will create a specialised research institute that will generate new synergies and expand cooperation between the UJI, administrations and tourism stakeholders.

Afterwards, Javier Gómez Navarro, president of the MBD Group, gave the inaugural lecture in which he reviewed the evolution of the tourism sector in Spain.
