2nd Call for papers: Tourism in the Greater Mekong Sub-Region

The countries of the Greater Mekong Sub-Region have experienced extraordinary growth 
in international tourism with the contribution of tourism to the GMS economy significantly 
increasing in recent decades. Covering the countries of Cambodia, the People's Republic 
of China, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam, this panel 
seeks to uncover ‘host’ experiences of, and responses to, tourism-generated 
opportunities, challenges and changes. These experiences and responses include those of, 
inter alia, individuals, families/households, communities and governments seeking their 
own or collaborative aims, agendas and priorities. Theoretical and empirical papers are 
encouraged from across the GMS so as to reflect the divergence/commonality of 
experiences and responses to the growth of international and domestic tourism. Papers 
which address related methodological issues are also welcomed. Possible themes include, 
but are not restricted to, policy, pro-poor initiatives, intra-regional collaborations, 
employment, environment, identity, rural/urban, gender, class and ethnic difference.

Authors are invited to submit a title and brief abstract (not more than 250 words) to the 
session convenor Katherine Brickell ([log in to unmask]) by February 26th 
2010 at the latest. The panel has reached its requisite number of papers but welcomes 
additional papers to the panel.
