PROA-UA Platform – Service Restoration

2026-09-09

Dear Authors, Reviewers and Editors,

Following the cybersecurity incident that recently affected some of the University of Aveiro’s systems, we would like to inform you that the PROA-UA platform is now available again.

With access restored, editorial processes will resume gradually. Authors are now able to submit new manuscripts, send revised versions of their work and track the status of their submissions. Reviewers are now able to access the manuscripts assigned to them and submit their reviews. Editors will also resume monitoring pending editorial processes. Any deadlines that may have been affected during the period of unavailability will be adjusted fairly.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and delays caused by this situation and thank you for your understanding, patience and support during this time.

We remain available to provide any clarification or support that may be required.

Kind regards,

The Editorial Team

Journal of Tourism & Development

The Journal of Tourism and Development (REVISTA TURISMO & DESENVOLVIMENTO - RT&D) is an editorial project of the Department of Economics, Management, Industrial Engineering and Tourism of the University of Aveiro, published twice a year since 2004. It was the first journal created in Portugal, aiming specifically for the tourism area. Its mission is to provide the knowledge and research produced in this area. As an international journal, it accepts publishing texts in Portuguese, English and Spanish. It also fosters contributions that reflect perspectives from authors from different countries.


RT&D is conducted according to international excellence criteria: the evaluation of the submitted articles is assured by a double-blind peer review, in two phases, held by a commission consisted of referees from prestigious national and foreign universities.


Focused, undoubtedly, on being a scientific journal, RT&D does not only transfer scientific and academic knowledge. It enables the opportunity to enlarge latitudes and rehearse an encounter between worlds, sometimes so far apart, namely, the academy and the tourism sector, public and private tourism entities, enriching technical knowledge and those produced outside traditional expert knowledge systems.
