ICOT2014 - International Conference on Tourism

Tradition Meets Modernity: Time for a Rethink of Policies, Planning and
Development Initiatives
Dalian, China, 25-28 June 2014

Following the success of the previous three International Conferences on
Tourism (ICOT) and the support by the international scholarly community,
the organizing committee has decided to continue the initiative with the
organization of the 4th conference that will be held in Dalian, China.

Conference Aims and Scope
The growth in domestic, inbound and outbound tourism is one of the most
recent and significant manifestations of globalization. This growth is
often understood in broad contours, with tourismʼs position as a global
engine of growth well solidified. However, little is understood as to how
changing international inbound and outbound tourist flows affect policies,
planning and development initiatives in cities, regions and countries
around the globe. MacCannell (1999) noted that the "rapid implosion of the
Third World into the First constitutes a reversal and transformation of the
structure of tourism, and in many ways it is more interesting than the
first phase of the globalization of culture" (p. xxii). This change in
tourists flows affects everyone working in tourism, from academics to
practitioners, since international tourism is no longer a one-way street
with Westerners visiting each other and the rest of the world. The
conference asks questions such as:
- Are the specific needs and behaviors of tourists from developing
countries met when traveling domestically, regionally and internationally?
- Rethinking paradigms and the old ways of thinking about tourism which are
based on "western" values and western ideas about work, leisure, time and
space, group and individual travel.
- While the economic impact of these flows makes an important contributions
to destination countries, how do new flows affect these destinations
socially and culturally? How do such flows affect receiving society
perceptions? What affects the tourists travel propensity and behavior?
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.
