Registration is open for the 1st International Tourism Conference to be held from 8-11 December 2009 in the beautiful Caribbean island of Barbados. The conference is being organised by the University of the West Indies in association with the University of Surrey in the UK.
This conference represents the first of its kind in the region which brings together academics and tourism industry practitioners from across the region and internationally to engage in original dialogues on tourism. A key feature of the conference is the industry forum titled Solutions to the Crisis: creating a new Caribbean tourism, where regional stakeholders will debate, share and brainstorm to find creative solutions on how Caribbean tourism can be re-engineered to take advantage of changes in the global economy. Mr. Hugh Riley, Secretary General of the Caribbean Tourism Organisation will deliver a keynote address and other confirmed keynotes are:
Professor Brian Wheeller, NHTV, Breda
