Conference topics
The visitor economy includes all activities which contribute to visitorsı
experiences. At the core are the
components of the tourism product, such as accommodation, food,
restaurants, transport and attractions.
The concept, however, is much broader as the economy caters for the needs
of all visitors, not just tourists.
It embraces all activities, infrastructure and services provided to make
each visitorıs experience possible.
To create a successful visitor economy, it is necessary to manage each
individual component of the economy efficiently
with a focus on the needs of visitors. These strategies and innovations
are used to build resilience into destinations and businesses to improve
their
international competitiveness. The themes of this conference will include,
but are not limited to:
Animals & tourism

Destination branding
Economics of tourism & hospitality
