INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
PERSPECTIVES OF SEASIDE TOURISM:
CHALLENGES FOR SCIENCE AND BUSINESS
MAY 7-8 2009, KLAIPEDA, LITHUANIA
SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS:
LITHUANIAN RECREATION AND TOURISM EDUCOLOGISTS ASSOCIATION,
KLAIPEDA MUNICIPALITY,
KURSIU NERIJA NATIONAL PARK
CONFERENCE THEMATIC LINES:
- Tourism in the sea cities
- Seaside resorts
- Sustainable tourism in coastal territories
- Water tourism and infrastructure
- Seaside tourism management and administration
- Seaside rural tourism
- Cruise tourism
The conference will address a broad range of ambivalent
issues: the declining attraction of seaside resorts and seaside tourism
sustainability; the rapidly changing preferences of the seaside tourism
and related problems of professional training; interaction of seaside
and hinterland tourism and networking of tourism institutions, to
mention few. The participants are expected to present and discuss
research results and practical issues leading to building a common
platform for science and business.
On the second day of the conference presentations, oral
sessions and discussion will be moved from an academic environment to a
business setting – the conference will continue on a boat cruising the
Curonian lagoon.
We believe that Klaipeda with its historical and
contemporary role as a Baltic Sea port edged with the seaside resort
Palanga and the UNESCO World heritage site Curonian Spit, is the
relevant place for the Seaside Tourism 2009 Conference, and we are
looking forward to welcoming you there in May 2009.
