Abstract

With the publication of this issue, Pasos: Revista de Turismo y Patrimonio Cultural is ce- lebrating its 10th anniversary of successful pu- blication! As its readers throughout the world know, the journal has reached this landmark and its wide spread step by step (or paso a paso), having already left many footprints on the vast and still expanding landscape of knowledge in the field of tourism. What a journey of endu- rance and accomplishments! Having been on this road myself, with a different start and for a different medium, I know what it takes to give birth to a journal and nurture it—issue after issue—to a progressive maturity. I congratula- te Dr. Agustín Santana Talavera (distinguished professor of Universidad de La Laguna, Spain), the founding editor of Pasos, for this worldclass accomplishment.
