About the Conference

Tourism Management & Computing Technologies
International Conference

2-7 November 2026 · Portimão, Algarve (Portugal)

The Tourism Management and Computing Technologies International Conference (TMCT’26) is coming to the stunning Algarve coastline, in Portimão, Portugal, hosted at the Pestana Alvor Praia*****. Bringing together tourism and the technologies shaping its future, TMCT’26 will feature presentations from leading international academics and practitioners, showcasing cutting-edge research and real-world insights across key areas such as artificial intelligence and automation in tourism, digital experience and consumer behaviour, tourism management and innovation, sustainability in hospitality, education and research methods, and the evolving landscape of law, ethics, and regulation.

Across four days of intensive learning, you’ll dive into thought-provoking keynotes, focused scientific sessions, and high-energy networking moments designed to spark collaboration and new research pathways. With dedicated spaces for Master’s, PhD, and early-career researchers, including seminars and masterclasses, TMCT is built to be both academically rigorous and genuinely welcoming.

Whether you join as a presenter or a delegate, you’ll leave with more than memories of the Algarve: you’ll leave with new connections, sharper ideas, and the kind of momentum that carries your work forward long after the conference ends.

TMCT 2026 Conference
Themes and Topics

TMCT 2026 welcomes submissions at the intersection of Tourism Management and Computing Technologies, including related tracks and topics aligned with the conference scope.

All submitted abstracts will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee. Submissions must present original, previously unpublished research, regardless of the presentation format. Manuscripts should follow the conference templates and formatting requirements and will be subject to peer review. Detailed submission instructions and full-paper guidelines will be shared with authors after abstract acceptance.

Publication Opportunity

Academic Conference Proceedings and Publication

All accepted and registered submissions will be published in the TMCT Book of Abstracts (ISBN). The official conference proceedings will be prepared for Scopus indexing, in line with Scopus’ standard selection and processing criteria.

Authors of full papers will also have the opportunity to be considered for publication in selected indexed international journals (e.g., Scopus, Web of Science, DOAJ) and/or in an edited book volume as a book chapter, with the book and its chapters prepared for indexing in major academic databases (e.g., Scopus and Web of Science), where applicable and subject to each database’s criteria and editorial requirements. All journal and book chapter opportunities are subject to peer review and the final editorial decision of each outlet. Where applicable, published outputs may be assigned a DOI via Crossref, and conference materials will be disseminated through standard academic discovery channels (including submission for Google Scholar indexing).

Paperpal

Plagiarism Policy and Publication Ethics

Paperpal supports TMCT’s commitment to academic integrity and originality by helping authors improve clarity, consistency, and citation-quality while flagging potential integrity risks (e.g., problematic similarity patterns) through responsible AI-assisted checks. All submissions must be original, unpublished work and remain the full responsibility of the human authors, who must ensure accuracy, proper referencing, and genuine intellectual contribution. Paperpal (and any AI tool) may be used only as a support for language and technical refinement—not to generate the manuscript’s core research content, analysis, or conclusions—and AI tools must never be listed as authors.
