Seminar Details
To celebrate 30 years of World Travel Market, the International Centre for Tourism and Hospitality Research, Bournemouth University organised its annual WTM forum with the theme Tourism Frontiers 3030. The session reflected the past 30 years and provided an insight into the future dimensions of the tourism industry.
Tourism destinations and organisations need to learn from the history of tourism developments in the last 30 years and adapt to the realities, technologies and globalisation for the next 30 years. Leading academic and professional tourism experts, as well as two cutting edge research will encourage debates and discussions about the key strategic changes and the successful response of the industry.
Understanding the Economics of Tourism and ensuring the sustainability of resources will be two key challenges for the future. The forum examined major trends in tourism demand and supply and explores the strategic changes that lead to the international tourism industry restructuring.
Organised by Professor Dimitrios Buhalis ICTHR Bournemouth University in partnership with the TravelDailyNews.
