Abstract: Abstract In the last quarter of the century the number of scientific publications and published works that address the history of modern tourism in different countries has increased. However, research on the tourism phenomenon in contemporary post-war periods is still scarce. Hence, when in September 2018 the University of Barcelona invited us to coordinate a session on the International Aftermaths of War Congress, scheduled for June 5, 6 and 7, 2019, we did not hesitate. We proposed that it be titled Postguerra y turismo en la Europa contemporánea and that its objective would be to analyse the evolution of tourism in the post-war stages of the twentieth century, especially those derived from the First and Second World Wars and the Spanish civil conflict (1936–1939), studying the work that, in an exceptional and challenging backdrop, social entities and organisations undertook in the interest of developing the leisure travel industry, as well as its contribution to the emotional and economic recovery of the old continent.
