Seminar Theme and Scope Tourism and water are critical themes of the current economic and geopolitical agenda, notably because of foreseen conflicts emerging from availability of water for human needs and its management, in which tourism can have an important role in contributing to the world peace. Both tourism and water can be considered as important “assets” for economic and regional development. A key issue, both for tourism activity and water management, refers to the need for an effective and sustainable management of these “assets”. There are many points of interaction and convergence between tourism and water use, in which water can be either the stage or the background for tourist activities. Additionally, water as a consumption good, has its value closely dependent on the action exerted by all tourism actors: hosts and tourists, enterprises and organisations, regions and destinations. The III International Seminar on Tourism and Spatial Planning (TPT.10) explores the topic “Waterworlds: tourism development, conflicts and sustainability”, focusing on the interplay between tourism and water issues, reflections on policies and practices, realities and utopias. Some themes on which papers are invited include the following: Water management in tourism destinations | Tourism management in water spaces | Tourism practices in water environments | Water as a resource for tourism development | Water scarcity as an issue for tourism development | Tourism planning and policies in wetlands | Waterfront redevelopment | Water cultural heritage and new business opportunities | Utopian views of water tourism Seminar Registration You can register by using the Registration Form (last page of this document).
