Â
We would like to inform you about the extended

special issue of the Catalan Journal of
Communication and Cultural Studies. The new

of works will be confirmed by 15 March 2011.

Tourism and Communication: Place Brands, Identities and New Trends:
The concept of place branding has gained a high
profile in recent years as different places and
tourism destinations compete with each other to
gain a foothold in a complex and changing
market. In todayâ??s competitive globalised
marketplace, branding has been described as
â??the most powerful marketing weapon available
to contemporary destination marketersâ?? (Morgan et al., 2002).
The brand of a territory can be conceived from
two different points of view: as a destination
brand, which only refers to tourism activity and
as a place brand, which has a wider and holistic
meaning that includes tourism, investment,
commerce, education and quality of life. The aim
of a place brand is not only to communicate the
main tourist attractions of a region but also to
enhance its attractions as a business centre as
well as a good and comfortable place to work, live and study.
This broad subject of study includes emergent
topics such as place branding, destination
marketing and communication. Proposals for
papers can include studies of place branding and
its relation with the culture and the identity
of territories, communication through new
technologies, reception of brand image,
methodologies of analysis or comparative studies
of place branding experiences in different countries.
Catalonia is an important community in terms of
tourism development. Since the 1960s, the
tourist industry has been consolidated and
currently is one of the most important economic
sectors of the region. For this reason, studies
focusing on communicating destinations, their
brands or tourism marketing, and their relation
with cultures and territories will be welcomed.
Empirical studies and theoretical works with a
multidisciplinary focus from the advertising,
economic, communication, new technologies and
tourism fields will be accepted. Matching with
the aims of the CJCS, the issue will include
articles coming from Catalonia and from other
national contexts in which the relationship
among tourism, place brands, culture and
identity configure an interesting research case study.Â
