CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
"International Conference of Trends, Impacts and Policies on Tourism Development"
Heraklion, Crete, GREECE
15-18 June 2006
Most destinations worldwide have been, and continue to be, subject to tremendous visitor pressures with both positive and negative consequences. Therefore, much debate has been raised on whether tourism is beneficial for tourism destinations or whether tourism creates the seeds of destinations destruction. However, there is still discussion on philosophical stances and on which are the appropriate policies and management techniques to ameliorate tourism problems and maximize positive results, as well as on the significant role played by the local government in the development of tourism. Bearing all these in mind, the conference aims to add to this debate by stimulating discussion and exchange of ideas between tourism professionals, academics, researchers, policy-makers, consultants, practitioners, government officials and postgraduate students from all tourism-related fields.
