Traditions and Transformations:

Tourism, Heritage and Cultural Change in the

Middle East and North Africa Region

 

4 – 7 April 2009, Amman, The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan

 

 

 

I am writing to draw your attention to the above conference which has attracted researchers and professionals from over 30 countries. This international event, which will be addressed by the United Nation’s World Tourism Organisation, will:

 

·        Present the very latest research on tourism development, heritage management and cultural issues from scholars inside and outside the Middle East and North Africa Region;

 

·        Allow a unique opportunity for delegates to network and discuss some of the most pressing issues surrounding the relationships between tourism, heritage and culture;

 

·        Offer professionals, government agencies, regional organisations and academics the opportunity to showcase the best of their research and practical cases to an international audience.

 

The conference programme as it presently stands can be found at:

We hope that you will agree that we have put together a fascinating conference which, as well as providing an important forum for research, also allows you to network with a truly international group of academics and professionals involved with tourism, culture and heritage. The conference will also allow delegates to see at first hand some of the issues being discussed in Jordan.
