Welcome to ICTR 2018
Welcome to ICTR 2019
This is the second International Conference on Tourism Research, following a successful launch in Jyväskylä, Finland. The global approach to tourism has changed considerably over the past decades – in part due to low-cost travel and also due to an increased concern about the sustainability of tourism from both cultural and environmental perspectives. Despite some advances being made in the area, topics related to tourism research remain pertinent and are gaining momentum in a changing society. It is thus important to continue to develop research on specific tourism topics, in order to acquire a clearer understanding and to obtain important insights.
This conference intends to be established in the cutting edge of tourism research and we welcome everyone researching in this area to present their work and to the scientific community
