Conference Aim:

The aim of this conference is to bring together representatives from a diverse range of organizations including those in the third sector, public authorities, policy makers, industry and community representatives, tourism researchers and others who recognize the potential for positive outcomes of Tourism Sector – Third Sector interaction. The third sector comprises value driven non-governmental organisations which principally reinvest their surpluses to further social, environmental or cultural objectives.

The idea behind this conference is to provide an intellectual space to explore the enormous potential that exists between the Tourism Sector and the Third Sector. The conference streams provide a coherent logic to the proceedings yet are diverse enough to allow for the articulation of a wide range of multidisciplinary perspectives which it is hoped will result in lively debate and provide new insights into the interrelationship between Tourism and the Third Sector.

Conference Streams:

Abstracts for presentation are invited on any of the following six broad themes:
  • Tourism and the Third Sector: Governance, Participation and Exclusion
  • Tourism and the Third Sector: Conservation, Sustainability and Partnership
  • Tourism and the Third Sector: Culture and Representation
  • Tourism and the Third Sector: Delivering the Visitor Experience
  • Tourism and the Third Sector: Social Entrepreneurship
  • Tourism and the Third Sector: Education and Training


Submission of Abstracts and Papers:

Abstracts of up to 350 words corresponding to one of the conference streams should be submitted for blind review by Monday 15th of December 2008. Successful authors will be notified by the end of February, 2009. The official language of the conference is English.

A final paper of between 4,000 – 8,000 words is required by the end of May 2009 if authors wish to be included in the proceedings.
