Main topic
Christaller (1964) was probably one of the first regional scientists who analysed, after the conference held in Lund during 1963, the patterns on geographical location of tourist activity. Christaller found that “It is typical for places of tourism to be on the periphery. In this way, regions economically benefit from factors which cannot be utilized otherwise: high mountain chains, barren, rocky landscapes, heather, unproductive dunes.” (p.86). Since then, the tourism industry has changed dramatically. It is not so much the activity to move away from each other but instead to be with each other visiting their places and new places, also being involved with tourists in our own places because the we, and the places we live, are nice. That is why regional science – the study of human interaction within space with sound methods – has a say that can change the scientific perspectives on tourism that often miss space and the relation with each other. Regional Science as a discipline needs to analyse multiple strategies, policies and trends that are critical for tourist destinations that aspire to position and to consolidate their image in the world-wide network of tourist destinations at different geographical levels, urban or rural, within a framework of tough global competition. However, as world is currently experiencing, the unexpected events including but not limited to pandemic contagious diseases, regional political instabilities, safety issues with terrorist attacks, make the future of tourism uncertain. Due to the increasing concerns for mobility across space with the growing global uncertainty, tourism activities are expected to get downward pressure, while the increasing demand for various types of experience in tourism destinations may boost the worldwide growth of tourism in the future.
For this reason, potential topics discussed at the Special Session include:
- How can tourism studies benefit from Regional Science?
- Quantitative methods of Regional Science applied to Tourism
- Pandemic Diseases and Tourism Industry
- Consumer Behavior & Tourism Analysis
- From Well-Being and Happiness of tourists to Quality of Life of host residents.
- New Directions and Paradigms in Regional Science applied to Tourism
- From Decision Making to Travel Behavior
- Regional Science and Hospitality Research. The notion of industrial clusters.
- Tourism Infrastructure. Natural and Cultural Endowments
- Tourism Flows. Place, Time and Activities
- National and Regional Tourism and Travel Competitiveness
- Tourism Trends. Climate Change and Sustainable Tourism
- Tourism Demand: Demographic, Behavioral and Social Changes.
The abstracts/papers will be reviewed by the Organizing Committee and the notification of paper acceptance will be distributed by July 15th, 2020.

Call for Papers – New Discussion Paper Series in Regional Science and Economic Geography – Gran Sasso Science Institute, L’Aquila, Italy
The Gran Sasso Science Institute in L’Aquila, Italy has launched a new Discussion Paper Series in Regional Science and Economic Geography.
With an article that relates the spatiality of COVID-19 to the structure of local economies, the GSSI area of Social Sciences launches a Discussion Paper series in Regional Science & Economic Geography (RSEG), which aims at providing a forum for debating initial research outcomes of high quality standard.
It hosts contributions on a wide range of topics within and across regional science and economic geography, encouraging a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives on socio-economic phenomena with an inherently spatial nature. Each article undergoes a light and fast review process managed by a Scientific Committee within the GSSI area of Social Sciences (for this and other info about how to submit a contribution, visit the website).
The Discussion Papers address some of the most urgent issues and trends of the 21st century, like socio-spatial (income/wealth) inequalities, migration flows and labour mobility, disasters (natural, environmental and health) and resilience, globalisation vs. localisation patterns, the political economy of urban and regional development, the geography of innovation and entrepreneurship, tech-driven urban and regional economies (e.g. platform urbanism), the shifting location of economic activity and new technologies, just to mention a few.
The series is inaugurated by the paper “The geography of COVID-19 and the structure of local economies: The case of Italy”, in which Andrea Ascani, Alessandra Faggian and Sandro Montresor (GSSI Social Sciences) develop an analysis of the relationship between the geography of COVID-19 and the structure of local economies, by focusing on the case of Italian provinces. In order to explain the striking spatial unevenness of COVID-19, the paper hypothesises and offers preliminary evidence that locations specialised in economic activities that are characterised by high geographical concentration might be subject to relatively higher infections due to the agglomeration advantages characterising these industries.

Call for Papers - International Borders: Economic and Business Development Perspectives – Special Issue of SN Business & Economics
Editors: Rafael Garduño-Rivera (School of Business & Economics, Universidad Panamericana, Mexico); Haoying Wang (Department of Business and Technology Management, New Mexico Tech, USA)
Today, every region across the globe experiences different issues among its international borders. For example, the US-Mexico border region (quite different to the US-Canada and the Mexico-Guatemala borders), the Kashmir region in Asia, the UK and its relationship with the EU (and Ireland), the North-South Koreas, Greece and Cyprus, Colombia and Venezuela, and the list goes on. International borders exist to protect domestic markets while facilitating cross-border trade and communications. From an economic perspective, both sides along the border would benefit from opportunities associated with an open border. The reality often finds a situation being complicated by various socio-economic factors from policies to social norms.
Regional conflicts along international borders have become a major externality of the globalization process. In the meantime, economic and business development opportunities exist along international borders. How to resolve the conflicts and transition to binational coordination and development has been an interesting topic to academics, NGOs focusing on international development, and the concerned public.
This collection expects to attract studies from different parts of the world to learn about the economic and business development conditions along different international borders and how each country is dealing with or taking advantage of them. The collection will enrich our knowledge of the policy landscape and the private enterprise in each of the unique situation. New insights can be drawn to provide inputs to forge policies facilitating cross-border development.
While we are in the era of globalization, a lot of economic and business development opportunities are left unexplored along international borders. This collection will raise awareness of these problems and explore the reasons behind the status quo. An open and in-depth discussion can help to identify the influential factors and support policymaking to tap into the economic and business development potential along international borders. This collection seeks disciplinary perspectives from regional economics, international trade, entrepreneurship, environmental and natural resources economics, and public policy. It is also open to interdisciplinary studies.
Research is welcomed across the following areas, and others:
- The economics of migration
- Cross-border trade
- Port economy and agglomeration along international borders
- Environmental and natural resources management along international borders
- Border-region economic development
- The economic impact of cross-border illegal activities
- Border tourism and day trips
- Poverty and inequality in border regions
- Spatial economic analysis related to border effects
We are explicitly excluding studies (1) concerning border wars and political conflicts; (2) movements of peoples across international borders; (3) cross-border international aid. While these topics are definitely of policy importance and research interest, they usually fall out of the realm of economic and business development.
The collection accepts theoretical, empirical, and policy studies in the form of original research paper and review paper. In-depth case studies may be considered. The author(s) are encouraged to communicate with the guest editors before submitting a case study. All manuscripts should follow the journal’s submission guidelines.
This is a rolling collection and submissions will be accepted until the end of May 2021. Authors who wish to discuss ideas for articles are encouraged to contact the guest editors directly before submission. Full papers must be submitted via the journal’s submission system. Submissions by email will not be considered.
The website for the special issue can be found here.
RSAI newsletter May 2020
Dear RSAI members,
It is a pleasure to reach out to all of you in these difficult months. As you may know by now, RSAI decided to postpone the 2020 World Congress, which would have taken place on Marrakech on June 2/5, 2020. This and other news, as well as many interesting articles on Real Estate and on the spatial implications of the COVID-19 emergency, are featured in the new issue of the RSAI Newsletter (https://www.regionalscience.org/images/PDF/Newsletter%202020%20May.pdf), skillfully edited by Martijn Smit and Graham Clarke.
The Newsletter, and the many initiatives described in it as well as on our website (https://www.regionalscience.org/), testify that RSAI maintains a strong link with our larger community. While waiting to meet each other in person hopefully soon, I hope you enjoy reading this news.
Kind regards,
