Conference Aims and Scope
Most destinations
worldwide have been, and continue to be, subject to tremendous visitor
pressures with both
positive and negative consequences. As a result much debate has been raised
on whether tourism is beneficial for tourism destinations or whether tourism creates the

philosophical stances on which are the appropriate policies and management
techniques to ameliorate tourism problems and achieve sustainable tourism
development, as well as on the significant role played by the local government
in the development of tourism. Bearing all these in mind, this conference aims
to add to this debate by stimulating discussion and exchange of ideas
between tourism professionals, academics, researchers, policy-makers,
consultants, practitioners, government officials and postgraduate students from
all tourism-related fields.
