The conference, organized by the Department of Tourism and Services, aims to bring together prominent economists and other researchers that have a special interest in the tourism phenomenon to debate recent advances in the economics and management of tourism.
Being the first and the most important public institution that has developed tourism higher education and research, the Faculty of Commerce celebrates 30 years of continuous graduate studies on tourism in 2007.
The 2007 conference intends to go beyond fundamental research by welcoming also applied papers that provide up-to-date information on the evolution of tourism destinations and products, hotel management and quality control, e-tourism, new marketing and management tools and sustainability & environment.
