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 Universit� Laval, the Universit� Paris 1 Panth�on-Sorbonne and the Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change at Leeds Metropolitan University.

Subject: [serr] 2010 SERR Conference

Dear past SERR participants and other colleagues,

We invite your participation in the 32^nd Annual Southeastern Recreation Research (SERR) Conference scheduled for February 21^st � 23^rd, 2010 in Greenville, South Carolina. Graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, agency planners, land managers, and researchers are all encouraged to attend the conference and submit a proposal for an oral or poster presentation.

This year's conference will feature Fran P. Mainella as the keynote speaker. She served as the 16th Director of the National Park Service and was the first woman to hold that position. Also, this year's conference will include brief, provocative position statements made by senior members within our professions in an effort to challenge the current thinking and practices within the field of recreation and park management. Finally, the conference will include concurrent sessions, which will allow greater opportunities for oral presentations and follow-up discussions.

The SERR Conference provides an exceptional opportunity for researchers and managers within the parks, recreation and amenity management system fields to learn about and discuss each other�s projects, research findings, and regional needs. The conference focus is on outdoor-based leisure, recreation and tourism research, however other topics are welcome if they have a direct link to this focus. The call for papers, additional conference information, and on-line registration can be found at www.serrconference.org. The deadline for submission of paper proposals is November 2^nd.

Please forward this announcement to other colleagues who might be interested in attending the SERR Conference. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you in Greenville!

Subject: FW: Journal Announcement - The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research

Dallen.Timothy@...

Invitation to participate in the new academic journal

Volume 1 Number 1, 2010

The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research

Editor in-Chief: Omar Moufakkir, Stenden University, The Netherlands

Associate Editor: Alon Gelbman, Kinneret College on the Sea of Galilee, Israel

Associate Editor Dallen Timothy, Arizona State University, USA

Associate Editor: Ian Kelly, University of South Australia, Australia

Published by the International Centre for Peace through Tourism Research, Stenden University -ISSN 1878-7754

www.icptr.com

Papers for the journal should be submitted electronically via email to: omar.moufakkir@...

Please note this is an online academic journal. Papers submitted are subject to the usual academic processes of anonymous peer reviewing.

Aims and scope

The main aim of The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research is to provide a peer-reviewed forum for the study and discussion of tourism and peace issues in tourism and tourism-related areas of leisure, recreation and hospitality studies. The realities of the 21st Century, including globalization, the EU enlargement, immigration, terrorism, home-grown terror, made and natural catastrophes, conflicts, stereotypes, perceptions, and rising poverty, necessitate a closer look at the role of tourism. The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research is an international journal that encompasses all aspects of tourism and leisure oriented to peace, cooperation and conflict solutions. Tourism and Peace is broad in scope and deals with many factors relating to peace, such as appropriate planning, international cooperation, peace through tourism, tourism for peace, tourism in conflict-ridden areas, avoiding potential negative impacts of tourism and mitigating existing ones, tourism and human rights, peace museums, tourism and attitude change, inappropriate tourism behavior, inappropriate industry behavior, tourism and peace initiatives and examples of good practice through tourism, tourism and borders – physical and perceptual, tourism and cross cultural behavior and understanding, tourism encounters, political tourism, and ethical tourism.

The major concerns of the journal revolve around the myths, realities and potential of tourism as an agent of peace. Critical questions concerning the extent to which tourism can contribute to the multifaceted nature of peace, and help it to function in an ethical manner can guide our research.

Tribe (2008: 245) reminds us that “tourism ought to be a more critical business”. The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research hopes to engage peace and tourism researchers with critical theory, using its insights and guidance to answer related critical questions. In the tourism and peace context, aspects of critical theory can help us to understand what tourism is and what it is not, what it can do and what it cannot. The business of tourism is imbued with conflicting dynamics of power, struggle, empowerment, equality, hegemony, imperialism, inequality, exclusion, ideology, oppression, rejection, emancipation, and others. As “critical theory deliberately seeks to engage with normative questions of values and desired ends” (Tribe: 247), concepts such as these and other domains of critical theory can help us to further our understanding of the tourism environment with the objective of finding ways of using tourism to the benefit of peace.

The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research welcomes submissions from scholars in all parts of the world. Submitted research papers should normally be 4000-7000 words in length, and should demonstrate original and substantive contributions to scientific knowledge. Shorter articles in the form of Research Notes, Commentaries, Reports, and Reviews may also be submitted. The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research will be published twice a year, and will include themed collections as well as individual papers. The Journal of Tourism and Peace Research is committed to maintaining a high standard of quality and excellence through rigorous review procedures. In addition to tourism, it is of relevance to a number of disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, geography, environmental studies, peace and conflict studies, urban planning and hospitality management.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geographers
Washington, DC
April 14-18, 2010

Session Title: Tourism and materiality

This session seeks papers that invoke materiality in relation to tourism to provide fresh perspectives on the concept of social construction (of tourism, as well as of its component parts), to revitalize and decenter notions of agency (especially as linked to corporeal materialities and hybridity) and to incorporate the political-economic implications of a globalised capitalist economy with its uneven and unequal relations with and at differing scales. Papers can present specific case studies on tourism and materiality, on the materiality of nature as a tourism product, on the material corporeality of both hosts and guests and their interrelationships, on materiality as a theoretical concept to apply to tourism, or on any other aspect you have worked on.

I would be delighted if you intend to submit a paper to this session. Could you please send your abstract to me by OCTOBER 25th, 2009.

You will also need to directly register and submit your abstract at the AAG website and then forward me your PIN (see below) – by October 25th.

AAG abstract submission instructions:
In order to submit an abstract, go the AAG website (http://www.aag.org/), click on '2010 Annual Meeting'. You will then need to 'Register to Attend' for the conference and 'Submit an Abstract'. Once you do, you will receive a PIN number. Send that to me (adhautes@...) and I will include your paper in the session. The AAG deadline for submission of abstracts is October 28, 2008 – but I would like to receive your abstracts and PINs by October 25^th if possible, so I can send on the session to the AAG.

Just to follow-up on Dallen's inquiry, if there is interest I'd like to organize a session on RTS in the face of the global financial crisis.� I haven't had a chance to go through the AAG website, pay my fee, etc. to officially make a session yet, but if any list members are planning to write something that would be a reasonable fit in such a session, please let me know and I'll formalize the process.

Dimitri.Ioannides@...

Dear all,

Further to Dallen’s and Wesley’s emails I am writing to say I am fairly surprised by the low level of interest expressed in terms of setting up RTS sessions at the AAG. For years we have built up a fairly healthy presence at the national conference but alas, this no longer seems to be the case. To be sure there are a number of sessions proposed and the people proposing them should be praised but it also seems to be – for the most part – the old guard that keeps holding the baton.

That said, I would be quite interested in presenting – or even chairing a session – on tourism and inequities. Among the topics discussed could be issues that relate to labor, marginalization, social/cultural sustainability etc.

I have been more reluctant than usual to take the initiative in terms of organizing a session as I am not sure if I can actually make it to DC next year. However, if there is a session that deals with the aforementioned issues I would seriously think about developing something for the conference.

Best wishes to all

In response to Dallen, Wesley and Dimitri, as the Chair of the RTS Specialty Group I must admit that I am surprised with the lack of tourism-related proposals for the 2010 AAG meetings. I will shortly send out a list of the RTS-related sessions that, at least to my knowledge, have been proposed. Also look at the RTS Newsletter at http://www.geog.nau.edu/rts/news/news_0909.pdf for some CFPs that may not have made it to TRINET or this list-serve.

A message from Cliff Watts...

Greetings!

On behalf of the NERR Advisory Committee, I am pleased to formally announce the call for research abstracts to the 2010 Northeast Recreation Research (NERR) Symposium. Now in its 22nd year, the NERR Symposium annually draws between 170-180 researchers, graduate students, and practitioners from across North America. Last year, NERR drew participants from 28 different U.S. states (as far west as California) and Canadian provinces. Once again, the NERR Symposium will be held in Bolton Landing at the Sagamore from April 11-13, 2010.

In addition to research presentations, the symposium features a series of roundtable discussions designed to get conference attendees together to share information, ideas, best practices, and research insights involving a current topic. The current call for abstracts (due November 16) solicits submissions for oral presentations of research, poster presentations of research, and proposals for roundtable discussion sessions. The call for abstracts and other conference information is available through the NERR website: http://www.esf.edu/nerr/.

I would like to thank each of you for considering this call, and I hope to see many of you at this year's symposium.

Sincerely,

Clifton E. Watts Jr., PhD

Hello-
Could you please post the call for panelists and posters below to your
speciality group? Apologies for any cross-postings. Thanks!

I wanted to make a broad cross-section of our membership aware of two
opportunities at AAG. Even if you aren't directly involved in study abroad,
if you are interested in it in the future or if your students have engaged
in studying abroad during their time in school, these sessions could be
useful.

We are hosting a session on how to improve or equalize the benefits of study
abroad in the developing world and need a few more panelists for this
session. You can do this in addition to a paper presentation, as it is a
panel discussion to share and exchange ideas.

We are also hosting a poster session for undergrads and graduate students
who have studied abroad to present on their experiences. This is a great
opportunity to gain conference experience for students and for them to share
what they learned.

Listed below are the titles and short abstracts for both.Please email me if
you are interested in either session.

Thank you,



Suzanne
swalther@...

Expanding the responsibilities of educators of study abroad in the
developing world
This panel will engage in a round-table discussion on development of
long-term relationships, two-way exchanges, and collaborative teaching in
study abroad in order to bridge the North-South global divide. The aim of
this discussion is to facilitate ideas to create more balanced gains for US
students and educators going abroad as well as for students and educators in
host countries. Panelists will present examples of how to achieve this goal
(possibly necessitated by a previous experience) and examples of ideas that
were not as successful when implemented.

Student experiences in studying abroad in the developing world
Undergraduates and recent graduates present posters on an aspect of their
experience as a study abroad student and how it has effected them since
returning to the U.S.

Subject: new RFP on sociodemographics of travel
To: PLANET@...

Dear researchers,

a heads up that the Transportation Research Board (of the National Academy of Sciences)�just posted an RFP�for a very broadly defined project on "the effects of socio-demographics on travel demand." �One compelling aspect of the project is that the first task is essentially to develop a research plan for this topic, the second being to carry that agenda out. �Thus, within a pretty big topic, proposers have a fairly free hand in developing both questions and means. �Also worth mentioning is that it is budgeted for an even $1 million. �The overall purpose is to provide advice for transportation planning agencies, so the goal is both lofty and grounded.

As a member of�the project panel�that wrote the RFP, will review the proposals, and then work with the research team over the couple of years of the project through completion, I apparently cannot answer any questions about the RFP process or discuss other project details except through formal channels, such as TRB staff -- though we were all asked to spread the news of the RFP. � Any such inquiries should go to the extremely helpful project manager, Christopher Hedges, as indicated in the RFP linked below. �I can say that everyone is excited at the prospect that this level of support will generate creative thinking, ambitious research programs, and substantial research and practice contributions on these questions and topics. �Note the closing date for proposals is December 16.

Best,

Randy Crane, UCLA

p.s. Here are some key excerpts from the RFP, including a complete description of its 6 phases. �Again, Mr. Hedges is waiting for your call for any points of clarification of substance or process.

OBJECTIVE

�

The objective of this research is to determine how socio-demographic factors are likely to affect travel demand over the next 30 to 50 years and to identify strategies and actions that can be used by policymakers in state and local transportation and planning agencies to plan and prepare for alternative future scenarios.

�

The focus of the research should be on understanding the fundamental relationships between social and demographic factors and travel demand, and how these relationships might change over time. These factors may include diversity, gender, birth rates, aging population, wealth and income, immigration, regional migration and employment patterns, rural versus urban populations, and the size and structure of households and families.�The research will also examine the relationships between human factors and other variables affecting travel demand such as new technology, alternative fuels, economics and the economy, climate change, land use, and development patterns.�In addition, it should identify opportunities for incorporating the results into the planning and decision-making process.�

�

Note: Proposers are asked to develop a detailed research plan for accomplishing the project objective. Proposers are expected to describe a research plan that can realistically be accomplished within the constraints of available funds and contract time. Proposals must present the proposers' current thinking in sufficient detail to demonstrate their understanding of the issues and the soundness of their approach to meeting the research objective. The work proposed for each phase must be divided into tasks and proposers must describe the work proposed in each task in detail.

�

The work contents represent NCHRP� s expectations but are not meant to be restrictive on proposers� thinking. The phases described below are not intended to suggest particular tasks, but rather to describe content and effort that should be part of the research plan.

�

Phase I.�Assess the adequacy of current methods used in the U.S. and internationally to forecast travel demand and patterns with respect to socio-demographic factors.�

�

Phase II.�Identify and assess socio-demographic driving forces, their leading indicators, and critical interdependencies.�Assess the relative impacts of these driving forces on travel demand and patterns. Identify gaps in the current state of knowledge and practice.�Develop a plan of research that will address information gaps within the schedule and budget of this project.�It is anticipated that the research may involve data collection or the development or enhancement of models and tools.� Present the results of Phases I and II in an Interim Report No. 1.�

�

Note: Since these driving forces may impact different regions of the country under the responsibility of different levels of government, the proposer should identify the geographic scales and jurisdictional boundaries that can be used to structure the analysis.�Proposers should include in their work plan a presentation of Interim Report No. 1 and a conference call with the NCHRP project panel to discuss the work following the panel�s review. Proposers should include in their work plans a period of 1-month for the panel�s review and the conference call and should not initiate work on subsequent phases of the project until the panel has approved Interim Report No. 1.�

�

Phase III.�Upon approval of Interim Report No. 1, conduct the research plan developed in Phase II as approved by the project panel.�Document the results in Interim Report No. 2.�

�

Note: Proposers should include in their work plan a presentation of Interim Report No. 2 and a conference call with the NCHRP project panel to discuss the work following the panel�s review. Based on Interim Report No. 2, the project panel will select the basis for development of scenarios in Phase IV. Proposers should include in their work plans a period of one month for the panel�s review and the conference call and should not initiate work on subsequent phases of the project until the panel has approved initiation of scenario development.

�

Phase IV.�Develop representative future travel demand scenarios that may result from the driving forces identified in Phase II.�In addition, provide examples that illustrate the potential impacts of these scenarios on transportation demand in various conditions and locations at a national, state, or regional level.�Document the results in an Interim Report No. 3.��

�

Note: Proposers should include in their work plan a presentation of Interim Report No. 3 and a 1-day meeting with the NCHRP project panel to discuss the work following the panel�s review. Proposers should be prepared to discuss their preliminary ideas on scenarios at the meeting. Proposers should include in their work plans a period of 1 month for the panel�s review and the meeting and should not initiate work on subsequent phases of the project until the panel has approved the scenarios.

�

Phase V.�Prepare a detailed analysis of how the role, funding, and operations of DOTs and other planning and transportation agencies will likely be affected by the travel demand scenarios identified in Phase IV. In response, identify and deliver short- and long-range actions, strategies, tools, or models that DOTs can use to plan, respond to, and otherwise manage under each scenario.�Assess the potential risks and uncertainties, as well as the risks of a �business as usual� approach.�Identify indicators that should be monitored and analyzed in order to help predict the scenarios that are most likely to occur.�Document the results in Interim Report No. 4.�

�

Note: This is the main component in which the project objectives are realized. Proposers should include in their work plan a presentation of Interim Report No. 4 at a 1-day meeting with the NCHRP project panel to discuss the work following the panel�s review of the interim report. Proposers should include in their work plan a period of 1 month for the panel�s review and the meeting.

�

Phase VI.�Present project results in compelling ways to encourage and guide policymakers to institute appropriate actions and management strategies. These deliverables could include executive summaries, briefing materials, multimedia presentations, and similar products to communicate appropriate planning strategies to senior DOT executives and other stakeholders.�The �look and feel� of these products should be coordinated with other projects in the 20-83 series.�Develop an outreach plan to facilitate adoption of results.�Prepare and submit a final report documenting the full research effort.�

I'm interested in organizing a session on Current Issues in Tourism Geography for the upcoming AAG.� "Events this decade--natural disasters, terrorism, war, global financial crisis, pandemics--have created a challenging environment for tourism.� The purpose of this session is to explore how tourism has responded to these and other challenges."

If you have a paper you'd like to include in this session please send my your PIN and the paper's title.� I'll then create the session and add your content.� Also, if you're interested in acting as chair or as discussant for this session, let me know.

Also, I've uploaded my abstract "The geography of US state tourism promotion funding, 1972-2009" if anyone has a session in which it would be a good fit, please contact me.

�

Sincerely,

�

About the Book

The United States continues to provide opportunities for travel and tourism to domestic and international travellers. This is the first book to offer students a comprehensive overview of both tourism and travel in this region, paying specific attention to the disciplines of Geography, Tourism Studies and, more generally, Social Science.

Tourism in the USA explains the evolution of tourism paying attention to the forces that shaped the product that exists today. The focus of the book includes the manner in which tourism has played out in various contexts; the role of federal, state, and local policy is also examined in terms of the effects it has had on the US travel industry and on destinations. The various elements of tourism demand and supply are discussed and the influence that transportation (especially Americans’ high personal mobility rates and love affair with the auto) has had on the sector highlighted. The economics of tourism are fleshed out before focusing more narrowly on both the urban and rural settings where tourism occurs. A look into the manner in which the spatial structure of cities is transformed through tourism is also offered. Additionally, a brief examination of future issues in American tourism is presented along with explanations concerning the ascendancy of tourism as an economic development tool in various areas.

The book combines theory and practice as well as integrating a range of useful student orientated resources to aid understanding and spur further debate, which can be used for independent study or in class exercises. These include:

‘Closer Look’ case studies with reflective questions to help show theory in practice and encourage critical thinking about tourism developments in this region

‘Discussion questions’ at the end of each chapter encourage stimulating debates

‘Further Reading’ sections direct the readers to related book and web resources so that they can learn more about the topics covered in each chapter.

Written in an engaging style and supported with visual aids, this book will provide students globally with an in-depth and essential understanding of the complexities of tourism and travel in the USA

***apologies for cross-posting***

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 20^th – 21^st 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 8^th 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

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?

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.
