International
Conference of Tourism Development and Management
Tourism
in a Changing World:
Prospects and Challenges
Kos Island,
Greece, 20-23 June 2009
Conference
Aim
Tourism
is becoming increasingly important to the world economy. However, the
many changes and challenges international tourism faces today have
resulted in many negative social, political and environmental
repercussions that affect destinations and their populations in
virtually every corner of the contemporary world.
In dealing with
these challenges, it is imperative to identify future trends and
examine various responses with respect to the appropriate policies
and management techniques. Bearing all these in mind, the conference
aims to add to this debate by stimulating discussion and exchange of
ideas between tourism professionals, academics, researchers,
policy-makers, consultants, practitioners, government officials and
postgraduate students from all tourism-related fields.
The
Conference will give participants a rare opportunity to combine,
should they wish, participation in an international conference with
their summer holidays on the famous island of Kos, and enjoy the so
well-know Greek hospitality.
