DAY CONFERENCE at UNIVERSITY OF DERBY

6 OCTOBER 2001

TOURISM AND THE MEDIA

This one day, multi-disciplinary, international conference explores the interactions between the media and tourism as practice, contemporary culture, business, regional and national identity. the event follows the very successful conference in May 2000, to be published 2001 by Berg [eds Crouch and Lubbren] as Visual Culture and Tourism.

Travelling informs past and contemporary media culture and the content of media culture is profound in shaping who travels and with what ideas and desires. Nature, ideas of home, the other, the self, leisure, and the modern, circulate different values, roles of consumption, environments, and ways of seeing and practising the world. Thus, tourism and the media becomes exciting, contested ground. This conference intends to bring together the practice of tourists; the representation of tourism; the study of tourism; the business of both media and tourism.

The conference will be structured around three strands which provide a platform to investigate and foreground these divergent concerns across the academic, cultural and business worlds. The strands will examine the integral relationships of contemporary tourism  and media. Themes will explore eg, the negotiation of place, space, and cultures, demonstrating how each may form significant means through which culture is transformed, businesses transacted, and ideas transmitted. So, a diverse number of papers will cover areas, such as: tourism promotion by television holiday programmes; the role of heritage films in tourism promotion and practice; the relationship of music to place; cultures of tourism and the media; the representation and perception of national and regional identity via tourism and the media. 

The three conference strands will be: Tourism and the Mediation of Place and Space; Tourism, the Media and National Identity; and Tourism Practice and the Media.

The Conference will be held at Cromford Mill, Cromford, just north of Derby, and close to the of television location for Peak Practice.
