Subject: World Heritage and tourism_Announcement & CFP

Dear List members

We are pleased to announce and CFP for the following forthcoming international conference:

 

world heritage and tourism:

Managing for the global and the local

 

3-4 June 2010, Quebec City, Canada


As of 2009, approximately 900 sites are registered on the UNESCO World Heritage list. For many sites inscription on the World Heritage List acts as a promotional device and the management challenge is one of protection, conservation and dealing with increased numbers of tourists. For other sites, designation has not brought anticipated expansion in tourist numbers and associated investments. What is clear is that tourism is now a central concern to the wide array of stakeholders involved with World Heritage Sites. We increasingly need to understand the multi-layered relationships between the diverse range of Sites and tourism and tourists and, to focus on how tourism is effectively managed for the benefit of all.

This conference seeks to explore a series of critical and fundamental questions being raised by the various ‘owners’, managers and local communities involved with World Heritage Sites in relation to tourism: Why do tourists visit some World Heritage Sites and not others? What is the tourist experience of such Sites? How successful are Sites in the management of tourists? What roles do local communities play in Site management? How can the ‘spirit of place’ be protected in the face of the sheer volume of tourists? How can some Sites maximize the potential of a sustainable tourism for the purposes of poverty alleviation and community cohesion? How effective are communication strategies in bringing stakeholders together? What management skills are needed to address the needs of different stakeholders, different sites and different cultures?

We encourage papers from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives and welcome submissions which address theoretical, empirical, methodological, comparative and practical perspectives on the fullest array of themes associated with the management of UNESCO World Heritage.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Original papers are invited to consider subject areas including, but not limited to, the following themes:

·         Marketing in the management of World Heritage Sites;

·         The pragmatics of managing tourists;

·         Financing World Heritage;

·         Community involvement in Site management;

·         Relations between intangible cultural heritage and Site management;

·         The role of the private tourism sector;

·         The nature of tourist experience and behaviour at World Heritage Sites;

·         Shaping local, regional and national identities through Site inscription;

·         Issues of governance and transnational regulation;

·         Legal rights and notions of ‘ownership’;

·         The management of World Heritage ‘values’;

·         The geo-politics of inclusion and exclusion;

·         Methods of Site evaluation;

·         Managing spiritual values and biodiversity;

·         The role of UNESCO and the political economies of designation.

Please submit your 500 words abstract (in French or English) including a title and full contact details as an electronic file to Professor Maria Gravari-Barbas (Maria.Gravari-Barbas@...) or Laurent Bourdeau (laurent.bourdeau@...) as soon as possible but no later than 15 December 2009.

Publication opportunity: Papers accepted for the conference will be published in the conference proceedings, subject to author registration. Best papers from the conference will also be considered for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change.

Conference Organisers: UNESCO/UNITWIN NETWORK for Culture, Tourism and Development, the Faculty of Business Administration at Université Laval, the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and the Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change at Leeds Metropolitan University.

Subject: Call for Papers: Exploring Innovations and Transgressions in Tourism Mobilities/Immobilities

Apologies for cross-postings. **

* Exploring Innovations and Transgressions in Tourism Mobilities/Immobilities. *

Call for Papers, Annual Conference of the Association of American Geographers, April 14-18, 2010 – Washington, DC.

Convenors: Professor Kevin Hannam (University of Sunderland), Dr Jan Mosedale (University of Sunderland), Cody Paris (Arizona State University).* *

*Sponsored by Taylor and Francis Publishers and the Recreation, Tourism and Sport Specialty Group of the AAG. *

Mimi Sheller and John Urry (2004: 1) wrote in their book /Tourism Mobilities/: “We refer to ‘tourism mobilities’, then, not simply to state the obvious (that tourism is a form of mobility), but to highlight that many different mobilities inform tourism, shape the places where tourism is performed, and drive the making and unmaking of tourist destinations. Mobilities of people and objects, airplanes and suitcases, plants and animals, images and brands, data systems and satellites, all go into ‘doing’ tourism. … Tourism mobilities involve complex combinations of movement and stillness, realities and fantasies, play and work.” Research into tourism mobilities has, to date, primarily focused upon the impact of new technologies and modes of transport and related changing social and cultural practices as well as the creation of new ‘mobile’ places such as airports and internet cafés – with little regard for both alternative innovations and transgressions within mobilities/immobilities (Cresswell, 2006; Hannam /et al/., 2006).

This call for papers, then, looks to examine some of the more neglected aspects of tourism mobilities, in order to understand /creative /and /innovative/ as well as /transgressive /and/ abject /mobile practices that are constitutive of contemporary tourism. However, we are also seeking research that examines what happens when things break down in the very ‘doing’ of tourism and both the immobilities and new innovative or transgressive mobilities that may then ensue. Hence, we would like to suggest papers that engage theoretically with the new mobilities paradigm and which examine one or more of the following themes:

- Tourism, Creativity & Innovations in Mobilities/immobilities

- Tourism, Greed & Excess in Mobilities/immobilities

- Tourism, Inequalities & Abjection in Mobilities/immobilities

- Tourism, Risk & Health in Mobilities/immobilities.

- Tourism, Crime & Terrorism in Mobilities/immobilities.


Please note the guidelines for presenters, available at:

6th ATLAS Business Tourism Conference
Liverpool, England
22-24 November 2009

"Advances in Business Tourism Education and Research"

 

Despite the global economic situation, the importance of Business Tourism continues to expand around the world, with a growing number of new destinations and venues targeting the market for Conferences, Exhibitions and Incentive Travel. In most countries in the developed world, income from Business Tourism now represents between one-third and one-quarter of all tourism spending. This is therefore a subject entirely worthy of attention from academics and researchers everywhere, and recently there has been considerable growth in the number of Universities offering courses related to Business Tourism and Business Events. Academics specialising in teaching and researching in this subject area will directly benefit from attending the the ATLAS Business Tourism conference, which has become the most important international annual forum for the exchange of ideas and the sharing of best practice in teaching and researching this subject. This year's conference will focus on a broad range of topics that are related to education, research, and management in the field of business events.

          TTRI Research Seminar

          Wednesday 11 November 2009

          3pm-5pm

          Room A02 Amenities Building

          Jubilee Campus

          Professor Stephen Wanhill

          "Last Night at the Opera"

          The Business of Sustaining this Art Form


          Performing arts organisations, such as opera companies do not exist solely for the purpose of satisfying consumer demand, but to also further their cultural medium.   As museums may be regarded as the guardians of heritage,so opera companies take their share of guarding the cultural resources of society.   The broad goals of the professional opera companies are to maximise attendance, while presenting a repertoire that meets their quality standards, subject to the constraint that revenues must be sufficient to cover costs.   From this it may thus be appreciated that the art of opera management is about maintaining a balance between filling seats, controlling costs and artistic integrity.   The traditions and conventions in the repertoire lead to high costs and prices in today's market, making it virtually impossible to cover expenses purely with box office receipts and so companies must resort to diverse streams of income raised fromfriends/patrons associations, sponsorship and varying amounts of government funding to enable the art form to survive.   Given that the latter is 'at arm's length' and subject public sector budgetary conditions, where the underlying trend in Europe has been a tightening of government funding, the essence of the discussion here is one of self-help, of which opera companies in the USA are prime examples.   The purpose of this seminar is to discuss some of the actions that may be taken towards self-help, including revenue management.

           Dr. Stephen Robert Charles Wanhill

                 
          Stephen Wanhill is a Special Professor, Nottingham University Business School, Professor of Tourism Economics, University of Limerick and Emeritus Professor of Tourism Research, Bournemouth University, Dean of the Graduate School at Neapolis University and a Visiting Professor at the University of Swansea.   He is a Director of Global Tourism Solutions (UK) and his principal research interests are in the field of tourism destination development.   To this extent he has acted as a tourism consultant to a number of UK planning and management consulting firms, and has undertaken a wide range of tourism development strategies, tourism impact assessments, lecture programmes and project studies from airports to attractions, both in the UK and worldwide, covering some 50 countries.

          He has written extensively on public sector intervention in tourism, tourism impact methodology, and project appraisal and development in academic journals and edited books, which has brought him recognition in terms of acting as tourism policy advisor to the Select Committee on Welsh Affairs for a period of five years in House of Commons.   He is one of the authors for the best selling book Tourism Principles and Practice (Pearson Education), now in its 4th Edition, and the new addition of Managing Visitor Attractions:  New Directions (Butterworth-Heinemann).

          He has been a Board Member of the Wales Tourist Board with responsibilities for the development and research divisions. · In this capacity, he spent much time reviewing and recommending grant applications for projects that encompass accommodation, restaurants and pubs, attractions and public facilities, such as country parks, visitors centres and infrastructure improvements.

          He is the Editor of Tourism Economics and an Editorial Board Member of Acta Touristica, European Journal of Tourism Research, Tourism Management, the International Journal of Tourism Research, and the Journal of Travel Research.

          There will be an opportunity to network with refreshments after the Seminar in the Aspire Cafe

6th ATLAS Business Tourism Conference
Liverpool, England
22-24 November 2009

"Advances in Business Tourism Education and Research"

 

Despite the global economic situation, the importance of Business Tourism continues to expand around the world, with a growing number of new destinations and venues targeting the market for Conferences, Exhibitions and Incentive Travel. In most countries in the developed world, income from Business Tourism now represents between one-third and one-quarter of all tourism spending. This is therefore a subject entirely worthy of attention from academics and researchers everywhere, and recently there has been considerable growth in the number of Universities offering courses related to Business Tourism and Business Events. Academics specialising in teaching and researching in this subject area will directly benefit from attending the the ATLAS Business Tourism conference, which has become the most important international annual forum for the exchange of ideas and the sharing of best practice in teaching and researching this subject. This year's conference will focus on a broad range of topics that are related to education, research, and management in the field of business events.

2nd International Polar Tourism Research Network Conference
Tourism, People and Protected Areas in Polar Wilderness

Date: 13-16 June 2010,
Venue: Abisko, Kiruna municipality, Sweden

Polar areas have recently raised enormous interest from various directions.
Geopolitical struggle over resources and growing concern regarding the impacts
of climate change on polar environments are only two reasons for the increasing
awareness directed towards polar areas often focusing the regions’ ecological
vulnerability.

These changes are intertwined with issues related to human mobility and here
particularly the role of tourism can be highlighted. The remoteness of the polar
areas promises tourists extreme climatic conditions, undisturbed wilderness,
authentic heritage and exotism. These factors have been successfully used to
lure an increasing number of tourists into the polar regions. Hence meanwhile
desired by national and regional governments and also some communities as a way
of achieving regional development and sustaining livelihoods for polar peoples,
the growing numbers of tourists have created concern among environmentalists,
academics and locals. Obviously, the needs and desires of tourists collide with
local subsistence, global conservation interest and other resource exploitation.
Hence in some cases mining, tourism, nature protection and indigenous traditions
compete for the same spaces. The idea of ‘peripheral’ polar areas is thus
increasingly contested and in the light of global change polar areas have been
moved into the center of interest as never before.

This forms the background for the 2nd conference of the International Polar
Tourism Research Network in Abisko, Sweden. This conference puts focus on the
interrelationship of tourism development and polar communities and environments.
Papers should address issues related to the following topics:


·         Tourism and regional development in polar areas

·         Tourism and indigenous peoples in polar areas

·         Tourism and cultural change in polar areas

·         Tourism and nature protection in polar areas

·         Polar ecotourism and nature-based tourism

·         Polar cruise tourism

·         Polar mass tourism

·         Science tourism

·         Tourism and resource conflicts in polar areas

·         Polar tourism experiences and their interpretation

·         Management and planning for polar tourism

·         Geopolitics of polar tourism

·         Polar tourism history

·         Constructions of polar tourism spaces

… or any other topic relevant for the topic of the conference
Abstract submissions addressing both theoretical and empirical issues are
welcomed. A review process will be applied to ensure high-quality contributions
to the conference. Moreover, the location of the conference in the sub-polar
region of Sweden and the subsequent logistical limitations imply that only a
limited number of delegates can be accepted for the conference.

The conference is organized by the Department of Social and Economic Geography,
Umeå University, Sweden, on behalf of the INPTRN
(http://www.polartourismnetwork.uqam.ca/ ). The venue for the conference is the
Abisko Scientific Research Station (http://www.linnea.com/~ans/). Accommodation
is thus in shared rooms. The expected cost for the conference including
accommodation and all meals is 3500 SEK (ca. 320 € - to be confirmed)

Dear list members,

 

We wish to inform you about the following forthcoming event organised by the Centre for Tourism and Culture Management, Copenhagen Business School and the

Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change, Leeds Metropolitan University (www.tourism-culture.com) in association with the International Festivals and Events Association Europe (www.ifeaeurope.com)

 

 

 

Journeys of Expression VIII

Celebrating through times of crisis: prospects and potentials for tourism, festivals and cultural events

 

Copenhagen, Denmark 20th – 21st April 2010

 

Building on the established collaboration between the Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change (CTCC) and the International Festivals and Events Association (IFEA), this conference will bring together international academic researchers in the field of tourism and festival studies with policy makers and practitioners in the festivals and cultural events sector. The CTCC and IFEA are delighted to be working in partnership with the Centre for Tourism and Culture Management, Copenhagen Business School in the organisation and hosting of this event which coincides with IFEA’s annual conference.

 

The conference will discuss the complex implications of the global economic downturn for the relationships between tourism, festivals and cultural events. We particularly welcome paper proposals that consider questions of how the balance between social, artistic and commercial aspects of festivals can be sustained during these challenging times and how festivals and cultural events and their attractiveness to tourists may contribute to addressing economic, social and environmental crises at local, regional, national and international levels. The conference will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark and will form the 8th edition of the ‘Journeys of Expression’ conferences organised by the CTCC with partners since 2002.

 

Conference Aims

 

Festivals and cultural events of all kinds are of enduring and growing interest to policy makers and practitioners in the arts, community development, regeneration and, tourism sectors. This interest and involvement gives rise to a number of critical questions concerning the relationships between these sectors in the development, management and evaluation of festivals and cultural events during times of economic downturn, social and environmental crises. The conference aims to share the latest research findings and debates in these areas of critical concern for researchers, policy makers and practitioners alike. Proposals for papers are welcome from researchers working across the social sciences and humanities in examining festival and tourism relationships in any international setting.

 

Themes of Interest

 

Key themes of interest to the conference include:

 

  • Economic development policy and regeneration dimensions of festivals and cultural events
  • Partnerships and collaborations in festival planning, management and performance

 

  • Festivals as product and packaging opportunities for the tourism sector

 

  • The contribution of festivals and cultural events to place images

 

  • The re-structuring, re-shaping and re-animation of city spaces and new communities through festivals and cultural events

 

  • Festival and event 'legacies'

 

  • Emerging tourist market trends and their implications for festivals and cultural events

 

  • Service quality management at festivals and cultural events

 

  • Economic assessments of festivals and cultural events

 

  • Managing risk and visitor behaviour at festivals and cultural events

 

  • Festivals and cultural events as sites of protest and dissent

 

Please send your abstract of no more than 300 words with full correspondence details as an electronic file to both Dr. Philip Long (p.e.long@...) and Dr Lise Lyck (ll.tcm@...) as soon as possible but by January 15th 2010 at the latest. Selected papers will be considered for publication in a special edition of the journal Event Management.

***Apologies for cross-posting***

 

 

 

Dear List members

We wish to remind you of the approaching deadline for abstract submission (15 December 2009) for the following conference:

 

 

 

world heritage and tourism:

Managing for the global and the local

 

3-4 June 2010, Quebec City, Canada

 

 

As of 2009, approximately 900 sites are registered on the UNESCO World Heritage list. For many sites inscription on the World Heritage List acts as a promotional device and the management challenge is one of protection, conservation and dealing with increased numbers of tourists. For other sites, designation has not brought anticipated expansion in tourist numbers and associated investments. What is clear is that tourism is now a central concern to the wide array of stakeholders involved with World Heritage Sites. We increasingly need to understand the multi-layered relationships between the diverse range of Sites and tourism and tourists and, to focus on how tourism is effectively managed for the benefit of all.

 

This conference seeks to explore a series of critical and fundamental questions being raised by the various ‘owners’, managers and local communities involved with World Heritage Sites in relation to tourism: Why do tourists visit some World Heritage Sites and not others? What is the tourist experience of such Sites? How successful are Sites in the management of tourists? What roles do local communities play in Site management? How can the ‘spirit of place’ be protected in the face of the sheer volume of tourists? How can some Sites maximize the potential of a sustainable tourism for the purposes of poverty alleviation and community cohesion? How effective are communication strategies in bringing stakeholders together? What management skills are needed to address the needs of different stakeholders, different sites and different cultures?

 

We encourage papers from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives and welcome submissions which address theoretical, empirical, methodological, comparative and practical perspectives on the fullest array of themes associated with the management of UNESCO World Heritage.

 

CALL FOR PAPERS

Original papers are invited to consider subject areas including, but not limited to, the following themes:

·         Marketing in the management of World Heritage Sites;

·         The pragmatics of managing tourists;

·         Financing World Heritage;

·         Community involvement in Site management;

·         Relations between intangible cultural heritage and Site management;

·         The role of the private tourism sector;

·         The nature of tourist experience and behaviour at World Heritage Sites;

·         Shaping local, regional and national identities through Site inscription;

·         Issues of governance and transnational regulation;

·         Legal rights and notions of ‘ownership’;

·         The management of World Heritage ‘values’;

·         The geo-politics of inclusion and exclusion;

·         Methods of Site evaluation;

·         Managing spiritual values and biodiversity;

·         The role of UNESCO and the political economies of designation.

 

Please submit your 500 words abstract (in French or English) including a title and full contact details as an electronic file to Professor Maria Gravari-Barbas (Maria.Gravari-Barbas@...) or Laurent Bourdeau (laurent.bourdeau@...) as soon as possible but no later than 15 December 2009.

 

Publication opportunity: Papers accepted for the conference will be published in the conference proceedings, subject to author registration. Best papers from the conference will also be considered for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change.

 

Conference Organisers: UNESCO/UNITWIN NETWORK for Culture, Tourism and Development, the Faculty of Business Administration at Université Laval, the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and the Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change at Leeds Metropolitan University.

INVTUR 2010 – Tourism Research: State of the Art and Future Perspectives,

University of Aveiro, Portugal,

March 10th-13th 2010

The INVTUR 2010 international conference aims at providing a unique opportunity to discuss the role of tourism research in academic disciplines, with special attention on the results of thesis, dissertations and applied research projects, and their relevance to the industry.

The conference includes thematic parallel sessions where a wide variety of papers and international experiences will be presented, focusing in areas such as the state of the art of tourism research, emerging research areas and issues, national experiences, how tourism research should be oriented in the future, liaisons between tourism research and the tourism sector, among others. In addition, worldwide recognized academics will provide ground of discussion concerning the importance of tourism research and its value to the industry. Keynote presentations are to be made by:

Professor Alan Fyall, University of Bournemouth (UK)

Professor Alfonso Vargas-Sánchez, University of Huelva (Spain)

Professor Chris Cooper, Oxford Brookes University (UK)

Professor Dimitrios Buhalis, University of Bournemouth (UK)

Professor Geoffrey Wall, University of Waterloo (Canada)

Professor John Tribe, University of Surrey (UK)

Professor Lionello Punzo, University of Siena (Italy)

The conference thus aims at creating a forum of discussion where differentiated points of view are to be presented, both from mature academics and young researchers. In addition to academics and researchers, the conference is open to entrepreneurs, public organisations and private sector agencies.

Alongside the INVTUR 2010 Conference, the University of Aveiro will be hosting a Tourism Innovation Forum, which is open to all conference delegates with no additional cost. The objective of this Forum is to act as a showcase of pure and applied research projects related to the tourism industry. It also aims to strength the relationship between academics and practitioners, by showing how tourism research may be used and put into practice, and how the industry may innovate by applying new and fresh research results.

The conference will take place between Wednesday 10 and Saturday 13 March 2010, and will be complemented by an intense and appealing social programme. Conference excursions will include trips to nearby tourist attractions, and conference dinners will be hosted at unique locations, complemented by mouth-watering regional cuisine. In addition to a very stimulating and thought-provoking conference with over 300 delegates coming from more than 20 countries, delegates will enjoy a memorable experience in Aveiro.

All information relating to the conference can be found on the conference web site at: <http://www.ua.pt/event/invtur2010/Default.aspx?lg=en>. The Registration Form can be found at: <http://www2.adm.ua.pt/sre/gesconf/registration.asp?lang=EN>.
