Peace through Tourism is making progress

May 15th, 2009 | Conferences, News & Info

It is true that certain forms of tourism and types of tourists make the critics of tourism and peace even more pessimistic about the positive relationship between tourism and peace. However, it is, nevertheless, worth noting that peace through tourism debate has become commonplace in the tourism discourse. And yes, not only in political arenas but also in academia. Internationally, tourism conferences and seminars are increasingly recognising the importance of the tourism and peace phenomenon. More and more conferences are including tourism and peace in their selection of themes. The International Center for Peace through Tourism Research has been invited to participate in the Annual Heritage Tourism conference organised by L&R Sozialforschung/L&R Social Research in Austria on June 3-5, 2009. You are cordially invited to participate with us in this important conference. For more information contact Mr. Behrouz Sayahpour
