The tourism and hospitality industries are amongst the world’s most exciting and vibrant places to work, and nowhere more so than here in Africa. Outdoor adventure provides a great context in which to explore the ways landscape, peoples and more-than-human communities interact – in forests, in the sea and on the plains. We want to share cutting edge scholarship dealing with experiences in tourism and hospitality – from the adventure of gastronomy and wonderful local foods to that of music, dance and body movement. South Africa provides an extraordinary stage or this significant conference – the first in Africa, as we consider how to develop the tourist resource with respect – respect for people, for the planet, and for the places they meet.
Abstracts, or full papers, are now being invited for peer review. Please see the attachment for instructions and much more detail regarding our theme for this year.
The conference is being organised in collaboration between the Adventure Tourism Research Association and Tshwane University of Technology, the largest residential university in South Africa, with seven faculties, based at eight learning sites, providing a wide variety of opportunities for students to obtain academic qualifications from national diploma to doctoral degree level (https://www.tut.ac.za/).
If you would like to learn more, please contact Jelena Farkic (ATRA) at [log in to unmask] regarding abstract submission or [log in to unmask] for event information.
We look forward to welcoming you to Knysna in September!
Best wishes,
IAC Organising Team
