WHAT: The 6th International Tourism Studies Association (ITSA) Biennial Conference |
This is the first time that the conference has been held in Europe and it will provide a unique opportunity to meet, hear from and network with tourism scholars and professionals from Asia, Australasia, North and South America and Europe on a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Europe's most visited tourism city.
