MEETING DESCRIPTION:
The concept of tourism invokes multiple and complex interpretations. Tourism
is both a problem and a solution to a problem. The theoretical and empirical
base can be approached from a large number of perspectives (see themes).
More than anything else, however, tourism is seen as a kind of social
practice. As a consequence the focus shifts towards the role and
responsibility of the individual in larger contexts, with attention being
devoted to the future of tourism and the sustainability of it all.
