in Kooperation mit der Südosteuropa-Gesellschaft
International Conference on
Tourism and Transition
(Annual conference of the German Tourism Research Group)
Munich 17/18 of May 2018
Introduction
Tourism is a driver of a multitude of different economic, societal as well as environmental or spatial changes. At the same time tourism is of course being driven by a huge variety of other political, economic, technical and social processes. Right this multifaceted relation in-between the phenomena of „Tourism“ and „Transition“ is the core element of the upcoming conference.
The Conference on “Tourism and Transition” aims to address social as well as spatial processes manifested in today’s tourism development. As taking place in the heart of Europe, also a regional focus is set on European and more specific on the South-Eastern-European region while not excluding any other spatial contexts.
While providing a forum for the study of transition process as well as the study of tourism in general, the focus is set on the fields where tourism, social, spatial and transition studies blur.
