The final issue of JTSW in 2024 features five articles that highlight the importance of addressing challenges such as overtourism, digital accessibility and environmental awareness to create a more sustainable and equitable tourism industry. The first article provides a systematic quantitative literature review that demonstrates the growing importance of accessible tourism, particularly through digital accessibility.

The second article examines the phenomenon of overtourism in a popular tourist destination in Turkey by analysing tourist reviews on platforms such as TripAdvisor. This research highlights environmental, economic and socio-cultural issues related to overtourism, with a focus on environmental degradation caused by increased visitor numbers, rapid urbanisation and pollution. The third article explores the impact of psychological resilience and occupational identification on well-being in tourism education. The research suggests that educational institutions and policy makers should prioritise fostering resilience and addressing technostress in tourism education programmes to enhance long-term career success in the sector. The fourth article assesses the level of ecological citizenship among tourism students, highlighting the importance of environmental awareness among future tourism professionals. Finally, the fifth article discusses the EuroGuadiana initiative, a cross-border tourism project between Andalusia and the Algarve, which aims to develop a sustainable and dynamic tourism model through cooperation. Taken together, the five articles highlight the growing need for sustainability, resilience and inclusiveness in tourism development.
