>Dear Tim,
>Thanks for your message. There are a couple of upcoming conferences in which

>American Studies Association conference in Miami in March we are involved in 
>two panels, for which we put out calls for papers over our mailbase list, 
>one on tourism, communities and environments in Latin America and the 
>Caribbean, and the other on tourism and urban identity in Latin America and 
>the Caribbean. Neil Carr has also just posted a call for expressions of 
>interest in an ecotourism conference that the Commission is involved in, 
>along with the IGU Sustainable Tourism Study Group, 15-23 July, 2000. I hope 
>that other groups will be interested in being co-sponsors (which may involve 
>as little as encouraging their members to attend or sponsoring or 
>co-sponsoring some panels. KYou are right though that much more coordination 
>and cohesion would be positive. In that regard, I would like to suggest that 
>the Commission for the Anthropology of Tourism  mobilize for a substantial, 
>planned involvement in next year´s SfAA, that we establish a Scientific 
>Organizing Committee within the Commission to mobilize the Commission´s 
>participation and to collaborate and cooperate with the
>Tourism Topical Group and the SfAA. Finally, the Australian Centre for Latin 
>American Studies of the Universitpy of Western Sydney is sponsoring the 
>Jully 2001 International Conference of the Association for Iberian and Latin 
>American Studies, and I would like to invite the Tourism Topical group as 
>well as other groups within and outside the SfAA to participate. Expressions

>Best wishes,

>>I was somewhat disappointed by the apparent lack of coherence to tourism

>>So, if there is anyone interested in giving papers on tourism topics in SF,

>>Please note that there will be at least two sessions on tourism at the
>>upcoming SfAA meetings in San Francisco, March 22-26.  If I am not
>>mistaken, Nelson Graburn, Valene Smith, Dennison Nash, Dean MacCannell and
>>Erve Chambers will be participating in one of the sessions being organized
>>by Matt Edwards (Memphis).  Betsy Hansen (USFl)I am organizing another one
>>on tourism in Latin America.  The Tourism Topical Anthropology Group will
>>also meet there again and plan for the 2001 SfAA meetings, which will be in
>>Merida, Mex. (I believe).
