> for
> poverty reduction in poor and economically underdeveloped regions.
>
> At a time of increasing mobility, ease of travel and the emergence of new
> destinations, tourism's contribution remains shrouded in bad data,
> misinformation, myths and mystery. Given that the industry servicing
> "people
> on the move' deliver socio-economic benefits is not in question, why is it
> still so controversial?
>
> CONFERENCE AIMS
> The conference aim is very simple: bring together a group of peers to
> discuss theoretical and practical issues around tourism's role in
> development and poverty alleviation.

> * Global and Local Conflicts in Tourism
> * Tourism Corporations and Corporate Social Responsibility.

> * Tourism and the Millennium Development Goals
> * Anthropology in Action
> * Economic Exploitation of the Exotic
> * New Waves in Tourism Development and Planning
> * Tourism and Development Methodologies
> * Gender Equality and Participation
> * Paradoxes and critiques of ecotourism
> * Fieldwork Methodologies
>
> TARGET PARTICIPANTS
> These topics will be of particular interest to many groups including:
> * Anthropologists and sociologist undertaking empirical and/or
> action research at grass roots level
> * Development academics
> * Cultural geographers
> * Human geographers
> * Tourism scholars trying to theorise tourism impacts, tourist
> behaviours
> * Area specialists (Asia, Africa, Pacific, Caribbean, Latin
> America, emerging economies of the new Europe etc.),
> * Officials of inter-governmental organizations, development
> agencies and NGOs who see the potential for tourism as an agent for
> development
>

> Association
> for Tourism and Anthropology.
>
> http://www.gate-tourismus.de/english.html
>
> GATE is a German organization, which takes its name from Gemeinsamer
> Arbeitskreis Tourismus und Ethnologie. It aims to establish
> anthropological
> perspectives and ideas within the tourism sector. In particular, GATE
> strives to create mutually beneficial relations between tourists and local
> communities: n other words, tourism that corresponds with anthropological
> concepts!
>
> GATE aims
> GATE's work is focused on the enhancement of intercultural communication;
> facilitating between different cultures by:
> * Fostering understanding of other cultures among tourists
> * Acting as advisers for people living in tourist destinations
> * Identifying problems caused by tourism
> * Working on sustainable solutions.
>
> A holistic approach always founds the basis for GATE's work. While
> developing or improving tourism projects and structures, all aspects of
> the
> local culture in the tourist destinations must be taken into
> consideration.
>
> Furthermore, local people should have the opportunity to participate in,
> and
> have their interests taken into account, at all stages of each and every
> tourism project.
