“Tourism in unprecedented times: Looking for new directions”
Tourism has always been a catalyst for peace, change and sustainable development. However, approaches to tourism have changed drastically over the years. As we mark a new era, our world is facing unprecedented challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, the emergence of disruptive technologies and increasing digitalisation, the war in Ukraine, the global energy crisis and rampant inflation are profoundly changing the pace of development in the world and drastically impacting the tourism sector. The INVTUR 2024 International Conference aims to reflect on how the world is changing and to advance approaches and techniques to tourism’s dynamic evolution and development. The INVTUR International Conference is an event organised by the University of Aveiro, Portugal, since 2010 and has become one of the world’s largest tourism conferences. Over the years, it has gained a reputation for being a platform for cutting-edge research and innovative ideas in the field of tourism. For the upcoming edition, INVTUR is expected to bring together academics, researchers, policymakers, practitioners and industry professionals from around the world to discuss and share their findings, insights, and experiences in the field of tourism. The INVTUR 2024 International Conference intends to share and apply scientific knowledge into practice that impacts the transformation of destinations. Cutting-edge research and best practices from a diverse range of tourism topics shall be showcased by hosting a number of concurrent meetings, keynote speeches, special sessions and related events. Parallel to the academic conference, discussions shall be held involving academics and people from the business sector and relevant organisations. Overall, participants will have the opportunity to strengthen networking opportunities with various stakeholders, enabling the use of research results in the best interest of the scientific community, the tourism sector and society. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange among stakeholders in the tourism industry, INVTUR 2024 International Conference aims to contribute to a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
