A national competition has just been launched for up to eight postgraduate studentship awards (all on the ESRC +3 model) to start in the academic year 2009/10 and 2010/11. These prestigious doctoral studentships are offered by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the Department for Transport and Government Scotland. The funding is part of the UK Transport Research Centre (UKTRC), a new £7.25 million five year research centre aimed at bringing new social science insights to bear on the UK’s transport policy issues. The UKTRC is a partnership between the University of Leeds, Imperial College London and University College London.
The purpose of this scheme is to support studentships at UK universities
that bring to bear new insights from social science research disciplines
to further the understanding of the role of transport in society and its
links to and impacts on the economy, the environment, health and social
inclusion. The disciplinary scope of the work includes (but is not limited
to) perspectives from anthropology, economics, geography, history, law,
marketing, science and technology studies, sociology, psychology, statistics,
social policy, politics, and planning.
Full details of the studentship competition can be found at:
http://www.esrcsocietytoday.ac.uk/ESRCInfoCentre/opportunities/postgraduate/fundingopportunities/UKTRCopportunities.aspx
The deadline for outline applications is 18th December 2009.
Any ESRC accredited department is eligible to host a studentship.
If anyone would like any further information about the scheme then they
should contact the scheme manager Dr Greg Marsden (G.R.Marsden@its.leeds.ac.uk,

Two Senior Research Fellows in Transport and Society - Closing date: 27/11/09
As part of continued strategic investment in transport research at UWE,
the
Centre for Transport & Society (CTS) is now looking to make two Senior
Research Fellow appointments.
Each post is for three years in the first instance. Salary: £35,469-£44,930
(pay award pending).
We are seeking highly capable and motivated individuals who share our
interest in combining expertise in transport and social science.
The successful applicants will play an important part in pursuing new
research initiatives on behalf of CTS. This is an exciting career
opportunity for individuals who wish to develop their research leadership
skills and to make a significant contribution to the ongoing success of
a
thriving research centre.
Since being founded in 2002, CTS now has a team of some 25 staff and
research students. Strong performance as part of the UWE submission to
the
2008 Research Assessment Exercise positions 'transport and society' as
one
of the leading research areas in the University. These appointments are
intended to consolidate and extend the strengths of the CTS team and ensure
our reputation for thought-provoking, policy-relevant and internationally
recognised research is further enhanced. We can offer a friendly, cohesive
and lively research environment to the successful applicants.
It is not our intention to define each of the posts in terms of a
disciplinary label however we could envisage appointing individuals
according to their strengths in one or more of the following: sociology
(mobilities), social-psychology, environmental psychology, transport
geography, social informatics, science and technology studies, behavioural
science, political science, mathematics and statistics, or transport planning.
The successful applicants can expect to be focusing in particular on
the
development of proposals for the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research
Council, the Economic and Social Research Council, the Technology Strategy
Board, the Department for Transport or the European Commission.
For an informal discussion please contact me. The closing date for

Tourism Sessions at ISA, Gothenburg, Sweden, July 2010?
TOURISM STUDIES: PURSUING THE EVOLUTION OF A COMPLEX SOCIAL PHENOMENON
XVII ISA World Congress of Sociology
Gothenburg, Sweden, 11 - 17 July 2010
Research Committee 50 International Tourism
Following the central theme of the XVII ISA World Congress of Sociology,
about understanding change including change in the scientific approach
itself, the Research Committee 50 on International Tourism has developed
our theme of "Tourism studies: pursuing the evolution of a complex
social phenomenon".
RC50's critical analysis focuses on tourism as a changing phenomenon,
an agent of change, and on the changing perspectives of tourism studies.
We promote an integrated 'three-dimensional' approach to change that covers
the 'horizontal' (integrating tourism within local and regional environments
and functions); the 'vertical' (relating global to local) of tourism social
studies and their interdisciplinary approaches; and a particular accent
on the 'diagonal' dimension, articulating cross-cultural contrasts and
hybridization of differences across cultures, in everyday life and leisure.
Potential paper presenters are invited to send abstracts (between 250 and 300 words) with authors' names, affiliation, email and paper title, to the moderators of the concerned sessions, with a copy to RC50 Programme coordinators by December 15, 2009.
Programme coordinators are:
Prof. Giuli Liebman liebman@uniroma3.it
Prof. Margaret Swain mbswain@ucdavis.edu
Prof. Jaap Lengkeek jaap.lengkeek@wur.nl
Session 1 Worlds of difference: cross-cultural backgrounds of evolving
tourism
On the diagonal - cross-cultural differences are manifest in distinct
historical origins of tourism, in present life-worlds of tourists, in
meanings and representations of identities, in formation of new hybrid
cultural articulations, and trans-generational changes in the perspectives
of tourism entrepreneurs and policy makers. Study of the histories of
tourism has changed from primarily Western perspectives to multicultural
interpretations by historians of tourism and historians in their own right.
The horizontal relations of tourism evolution within leisure, domestic
tourism, cross-border and international tourism may coincide in the same
social, spatial, cultural, economic and political environments. As multi-ethnic
societies evolve, localities represent many related types of leisure use
and tourist functions, sometimes conflicting, sometimes working well together.
Clashes arise between stakeholders in tourism development who have different
histories and cultural values, while new blends of values and orientations
also arise in networks of stakeholders with different origins.
RC50 is broadening its scope significantly, bridging to RC13 on the sociology
of leisure, taking leave from its original commitment to international
tourism only, opening up to many representations of the leisurely tourism
phenomenon and its multi-cultural manifestations. Regional or international
tourists visit the same places as domestic tourists or local day-trippers.
Questions arise about how well do these environments meet different requirements.
Which type of visit dominates policy interventions in these locations?
Or, do types of visits blend together? Migrants and expats, for example,
display patterns of travel that can hardly be identified as either domestic
or international tourism. This session seeks papers that address these
questions, focusing on the different origins, backgrounds, cultural and
spatial contexts of tourism as well as its new hybrid shapes.
Moderator: Giuli Liebman liebman@uniroma3.it
Session 2 Global impacts and local positions
Tourism is an important agent of change, while global changes influence
tourism patterns and developments. Such vertical relationships in the
evolution of tourism are mutually connected to worldwide changes, crises
and challenges that are manifest at the global and the very local level.
Relevant issues for this session articulate tourism with climate, poverty,
geo-political tensions, demographic changes (population growth, aging),
economic crisis, diseases and epidemics and the complex phenomenon of
globalisation in general, including the impact of new media such as the
internet.
Tourism becomes influenced by these issues, but also plays an active influential
role. The development of tourism and recreation consumer behaviour is
connected to the commoditization of places, cultures, landscapes and so
on, moulding them according to the logic of commerce. The session focuses
on an analytical approach to all these changes, but points at a need for
measures and interventions (see also Session 4).
Tourism is profoundly involved in the development and distribution of
global values about the intrinsic importance of nature and biodiversity
and the sustainability of environmental and ecological standards. Tourism
underpins in particular ways historical awareness and heritage; meets
issues of equality and social justice when visitors see and/or influence
local social relationships; generates income with a possibility of helping
deprived fellow people and reducing poverty; and lastly, the general ethics
of tourism develops toward meeting 'other' people with respect and genuine
interest (see also Session 5).
Topics could include: dynamic and mutual interactions between the global
scale and the local level in tourism developments or responses.
Moderator: Jaap Lengkeek jaap.lengkeek@wur.nl
Session 3 Violence intersecting tourism
Across all dimensions of tourism, changing contexts include issues of
political stability, safety and violence. Discussions of violence in connection
with tourism have mainly centred on the following themes: political stability
and the oft-associated terrorism; ideas of safety and security; and links
with crime. In addition there has been considerable focus on 'dark tourism'
relating to those sites premised on acts of violence in connection with
war, death and suffering. Identifying acts of violence is a way of categorising
human behaviour from large scale activities to those enacted on an individual
level.
Within the field of tourism, overt acts of everyday violence have been
understudied. The role of tourism in the form of symbolic violence is
even less well explored. In this session RC50 seeks to develop discussions
about tourism and violence as intersecting agents of change and particularly
welcomes papers regarding the use of symbolic violence. An objective of
the session is to deepen understandings of the ways in which violence
enacted through tourism and touristic practice serves to legitimise social
order, impacting on the creation of understandings of racial, gender,
class and national identities and relationships.
Moderator: Hazel Andrews h.j.andrews@ljmu.ac.uk
Session 4 Tourism Policies
Tourism is an integral part of social, economic and cultural policy making
in both the developed and less developed economies. Recent years have
seen significant changes to the overall flows of tourists, especially
with the development of domestic and overseas markets among the newly
emerging economies, and increased intra-regional and inter-regional movements.
The UNWTO, for example promotes international policies on socially responsible
tourism as means to reduce poverty in developing countries, while national
agencies have in the past used tourism as a means of promoting national
ideologies, or as a critical component in social and economic regeneration
strategies.
Such changes will require new responses to a rapidly changing tourism
sector. In keeping with the overall ISA theme on change, papers are invited
that focus on the new dynamics that are being created and managed by tourism
policies at a number of levels, Here the horizontal perspective may prevail,
but closely connected to the vertical and diagonal perspectives. Topics
could include: responses to the global economic crisis, political economy
and tourism development, global agencies such as the UNWTO and WTTC, public
private partnerships at national, regional and local levels, the role
of state and local government , public/private partnerships , relationships
between state agencies and MNCs, cultural ownership and the commercial
uses of culture and national heritage, corporate social responsibility
and sustainability, environmental management and protection
Moderator: Kevin Meethan K.Meethan@plymouth.ac.uk
Session 5 Imagining 'world-making' tourism and cosmopolitan values
Tourism has been construed as "world-making power" contributing
to re-valuation of local places and cultures in the spaces between global-local
realities, changing, creating new/old vistas, images. This session asks
us to think about whose worlds are changed through tourism, and who is
responsible? Cosmopolitan theory, whether named or not, offers philosophical
underpinnings for such discussions about this complex industry of mobilities,
identities, and political economies. From basic ideas about the rights
of "citizens of the world", a number of kinds of cosmopolitanism
have evolved. Progressive cosmopolitanism promotes universal ethical norms
- what drives ethical tourism, while critical cosmopolitanism seeks transformation
for social justice through multi-cultural norms.
As tourism researchers, how do our identities and values shape what we
study, and our research results? Drawing from specific cases, this session
seeks lively discussion about our positions as tourism researcher, practitioner,
toured, or tourist in "world making," and how our (cosmopolitan
or not) values shape experience in our changing/tourism worlds.
Potential topics include: ethical tourism, critical tourism studies, world-making
analysis, embodied cosmopolitanisms, values, social justice, rights, and
imagining new perspectives in tourism studies.
Moderator: Margaret Swain mbswain@ucdavis.edu
Session 6 Multiple disciplines and the significance of 'unusual' disciplinary
approaches
Most scholars understand tourism studies as an interdisciplinary field,
as evident in the impossibility of staging an RC50 meeting with only a
sociological perspective. This session offers an opportunity to continue
earlier RC50 debates on multiple disciplines, opening the discussion in
particular to disciplines that are relevant to tourism but so far only
marginally linked to our subject. Since MacCannell's semiotic approach
to tourism and Dann's 'language of tourism' there is further need to explore
the linguistic relevance of tourism. Although psychology has contributed
to the understanding of tourism experiences, other related sciences such
as neurobiology, may shed new light. Another topic, hot within the Darwin
year, is the question of if there is any relationship between tourism
and evolution, particularly relating evolution to play, play to leisure,
leisure to tourism.
The moderator's examination of tourism studies through published subjects
in Annals of Tourism Research (1973-2008) intends to generate a multidisciplinary
structure of tourism studies that will hopefully trigger discussions and
debates on multidisciplinary contributions to tourism knowledge through
reviewing and critiquing the disciplinary structures from different cultural
and linguistic perspectives. Scrutiny of tourism studies' multidisciplinary
structure and scholarship shall be of paramount importance to the further
growth of tourism as a field of research, education, and practice. Contributions
from approaches not fully elaborated for tourism yet, but promising for
further tourism research and theorizing are especially welcome in this
session.
Moderator: Tiger Bihu Wu wubihu.bes@GMAIL.COM
Session 7 The debate: from older to new generations in tourism studies
This session involves a debate between older, middle and younger generations
of theorists. The intention is to stage a vibrant discussion, where different
generations can speak there minds and question the other's standpoints.
The organizers hope for a stimulating firework lighted by 'old soldiers'
as well as ambitious PhD candidates.
Looking back we can say that the early generation of tourism academics
is in the process of retiring. New generations of researchers appeared
on the scene. At the same time, tourism itself faced many changes. It
underwent an unprecedented growth. The dominance of for example European,
American and Australian tourists is giving way to new upcoming markets
in particularly Asia. A change of dominant paradigms is dawning. It is
no coincidence that many RC50 conferences have put the discussion on paradigms
in the forefront over the past years. Tourism studies constitutes a relatively
young field of academic work. It was just in the 1970s that seminal publications
started to appear on the theoretical understanding of tourism. By the
end of 2009, Dann and Liebman will have published a book that provides
an overview of European origins and developments in the sociology of tourism,
which can also inform multi-disciplinary tourism studies and academic
developments in other parts of the world.
Tourism industry and policy have developed over the years and practitioners
are asking for more academic input, in order to access their positions
in a changing world. Academic work on tourism encompasses about 40 years
of increasing intensive scientific journals, loads of books, conferences
and so on. It is about time to reflect on its progress in many ways: how
tenable are the early theories, what is coming up to replace or replenish
them, what did tourism knowledge contribute to our knowledge of society
(particularly sociology), how is tourism theory able to critically follow
and support the practice of tourism.
The participation in this session will be on invitation, but suggestions
are welcomed by the moderator.
Moderator: Jaap Lengkeek jaap.lengkeek@wur.nl
Session 8: BUSINESS MEETING
The business meeting reviews a report on RC50's efforts and results of
the last four years, and elects a new board. Suggestions for candidates
are welcomed before the Gothenburg meetings start. Also, the recruitment
of new members will be on the agenda.

Migration policies should be relaxed to aid the poor
Barriers to migration should be reduced to enable migrants to play apositive role in both industrialised and developing countries, says aleading DFID-funded research group. The findings, produced by theDevelopment Research Centre on Migration, Globalisation and Poverty(Migration DRC), are published in a research brief launched in advanceof the Global Forum on Migration and Development 2009 and available onthe centre’s website at www.migrationdrc.org here:http://www.migrationdrc.org/publications/misc/Making_Migration_Work_for_Development.pdf The report is a summary of six years of investigation into migrationpolicy and practice. Established through funding from the UKGovernment’s Department for International Development (DFID) in 2003,the Migration DRC - a partnership of institutions in the UK, South Asia,the Middle East, West Africa and South Eastern Europe - has developed aprogramme of research, capacity-building, training and promotion ofdialogue to underpin new policy approaches to migration and development. The economic value of migration to poor countries is alreadywell-established, with migrant workers sending over $300bn to developingcountries, around four times global aid flows. However, the Centre’sfindings indicate that for migration to have its full developmentalimpact, the most beneficial policy change would be to reduce barriers tomigration, at all levels and particularly for the poorest. Yet according to the findings report, policy on migration in developingcountries remains fragmentary, and there is still a lack of consensus onwhat pro-poor migration policies should look like in poor countries. Professor Richard Black, the Centre’s Director, said: “Our researchshows that migration can be seen as part of the solution to problems ofunderdevelopment. Instead, most governments still assume that moredevelopment is the solution to problems of migration. In many cases,migration of poor people helps reduce poverty, improve educationalattainment and increase gender equality. But government policies mattera great deal in facilitating such positive change by migrants.” Key findings in the 30-page document, which includes links to coreresearch and policy briefings produced by Migration DRC, include:* Poor people are more likely to travel and work within or between poorcountries, yet they are often ignored in international debates aboutmigration;* Migration, particularly among the young, often stimulates investmentin education, either in the country of origin or destination.* Where poor people have a greater choice in terms of migrationdestinations, the net effect on inequality is more likely to be positive.* Skilled migration is largely a symptom, not a cause of underdevelopment.* Policies that support migrant communities can contribute to thedevelopment of their countries of origin; migrants do not need to returnto be effective and sustainable. The Centre’s work has included the compilation of data on migrationflows, with an emphasis on those previously least well-represented;analysis of the links between migration, globalisation and poverty andreviews of emerging migration issues and policies. Field research wasconducted in a number of countries in West Africa, South Asia, theMiddle East and South-East Europe. This work has resulted in the compilation of a number of robustdatabases and user-friendly web resources; the production of more than40 working papers and 50 refereed journal articles or book chapters; andnew conceptual approaches in areas that include, but are not limited to,the migration of children and youth; mobility of highly-skilledprofessionals; and social protection by and for migrant workers. *Notes for Editors*Richard Black (http://www.sussex.ac.uk/geography/profile10641.html) isdirector of the Development Research Centre on Migration, Globalisationand Poverty and a member of the academic advisory panel for the UN’sHuman Development Report.He is available for interviews, which can be arranged by emailingmigration@sussex.ac.uk To find out more about the work of the centre, visit its web page:http://www.migrationdrc.org/

JOURNEYS AND JUSTICE: Forced migration, seeking asylum, and human rights
A conference at the University of Leeds, UK
Friday 29th January 2010
This conference will examine the journeys of forced migrants. It will explore these journeys through the lenses of justice and human rights. A key part of the conference will be to debate better solutions to the problems of injustice and human rights denial that so often taint the journeys of forced migrants. Its focus is mainly on the UK, but contributions from elsewhere are welcome.
The conference will:• Examine the forces causing people to involuntarily leave their homes• Explore the often traumatic and chaotic routes forced migrants take in their journeys• Investigate forced migrants’ arrival experiences• Consider how forced migrants are treated and supported in the UK• Evaluate how well forced migrants are integrated• Delve into what, why and how forced migrants return to their home country• Focus on practical solutions and their policy implications Keynote speakers:Eleonore Kofman (Professor of Gender, Migration and Citizenship, Middlesex University)Hsiao-Hung Pai (author of ‘Chinese Whispers: The True Story Behind Britain’s Hidden Army of Labour’).
The conference will culminate in a 6pm ‘Question Time’ panel (free to attend) chaired by broadcaster Jenni Murray, with well-known figures such as Jeremy Seabrook (author of ‘The Refuge and the Fortress’), Eleonore Kofman (Professor of Gender, Migration and Citizenship, Middlesex University) and Mike Kaye (Still Human Still Here coalition & Amnesty).
We invite papers and other types of contributions(e.g. poetry, photography, film, art) which reflect on the below key issues. Please send your ideas (abstracts of no more than 250 words) to Louise Waite (email below) by October 30th 2009.
• Causes of forced migration (whether through persecution or other forms of coercion) such as economic crisis, environmental pressure, discrimination (due to e.g. gender, race, sexuality), war and global politics• Experiences of seeking asylum• Policies and procedures such as border control, the asylum system, denial, destitution, detention and deportation• Issues of justice such as human rights and the rights of the child• Longer term issues such as settlement, integration and citizenship• Responses in civil society such as political mobilisation, activism and racialised antagonism
We hope that the conference will be of interest to the following: people with personal experience of forcedmigration; people who have settled, achieved citizenship and feel integrated or excluded; people working inthis sector; volunteers; political activists; academics working in this field. For conference registration (£40 full cost, £20 reduced cost, + limited bursaries): please see registration form athttp://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/research/conferences/journeys-and-justice.htmlClosing date for registration is December 1st 2009.

La question des images.
Des cartes postales du 19ème siècle aux vidéos postées
par les voyageurs sur internet, les images sont omniprésentes dans
l’histoire du tourisme, l’invention des lieux et la transformation
des pratiques. Qu’elles soient fixes ou animées, produites
par, pour ou sur les touristes, les sociétés d’accueil
ou les intermédiaires, c’est donc la question des images
qui sera au centre de la cinquième saison de notre séminaire,
à travers deux approches :
- L’étude des images. Une série d’interventions sera consacrée aux images produites par les institutions, les touristes et les médias. Que choisit-on de représenter ? Que met-on dans le cadre, que garde-t-on « hors champs » ? Qui produit, qui contrôle les images ? Quels sont les messages véhiculés ? Quels en sont les enjeux politiques, économiques ou symboliques ? Comment les images circulent-elles ? Comment sont-elles reçues, appropriées, combattues ?
- L’étude par l’image. L’anthropologie visuelle documente depuis de nombreuses années la question des rencontres entre touristes et populations des sociétés visitées. L’ambition du séminaire est notamment d’appréhender la dimension heuristique de la production visuelle pour étudier les phénomènes touristiques. Plusieurs films seront projetés et discutés en présence des réalisateurs.

Tourisme méditerranéen et crise mondiale
Appel à communication
Invitation au voyage, à l’évasion et la découverte ou simple opportunité de loisir, le tourisme mobilise chez les bénéficiaires comme chez les professionnels, des attitudes socioculturelles diverses. De par les rythmes qu’il impose, les pratiques et les comportements qu’il induit, l’interculturalité qu’il génère et qui le dynamise, le tourisme devient aujourd’hui objet d’études anthropologiques, sociologiques, géographiques, économiques qu’il serait utile de revisiter.
Aussi bien par les capitaux qu’il mobilise, les emplois qu’il crée, les formes de mobilité qu’il entraine et les dividendes qu’il génère, le tourisme est, pour certaines économies méditerranéennes, un secteur d’activité vital. Il n’en demeure pas moins toutefois qu’il s’agit là également d’un secteur aussi dynamique que vulnérable.
En effet, pouvant être fragilisé aussi bien par la conjoncture politique que par de simples fluctuations climatiques, le tourisme méditerranéen est aujourd’hui confronté aux effets de la crise mondiale qui, survenue brusquement, ne manquera certainement pas de le fragiliser davantage. Le risque de voir chuter les rentrées touristiques, de subir un grave accroissement des taux de chômage est une réelle menace pesant sur de nombreux pays de la Méditerranée.
Le tourisme a également, sur le plan social, des effets paradoxaux. Vecteur de synergies, de symbioses et de mutations sociales, il peut avoir néanmoins des effets pervers quand il génère le rejet de l’autre ou quand il est instrumentalisé pour consolider les conservatismes.
Quelles sont les chances réelles des pays méditerranéens de relever les nouveaux défis auxquels le tourisme se trouve confronté ? Comment le secteur touristique pourra-t-il éviter de sombrer sous l’effet de la crise ? Quelles ripostes va-t-on observer chez les différents acteurs concernés ? Quelles mutations socio-spatiales enregistre-t-on déjà ou risque-t-on de voir émerger ? Les formes de concurrence et de compétition entre les pays riverains de la Méditerranée sont-elles en train de changer ? Quel rôle joueront les médias et les nouvelles technologies de la communication dans la diffusion des nouveaux produits touristiques ?
Voilà autant de questions que les chercheurs (Economistes, géographes, sociologues anthropologues) sont invités à traiter. Les axes d’investigation suivants peuvent être privilégiés :
1. Le tourisme sur les pourtours de la Méditerranée : l’état
des lieux (flux d’hommes et de finances, espaces et foyers touristiques
prédominants, espaces touristiques émergeants)
2. Le tourisme en Méditerranée : dynamisme et vulnérabilité
3. Anciens et nouveaux produits touristiques méditerranéens
: risques, développement durable.
4. Les acteurs de l’économie touristique : des impératifs
économiques aux exigences sociales
5. Tourisme et sociétés locales entre progrès et
effets pervers.
6. Tourisme et technologies de l’information et de la communication

Mediterranean tourism and global crisis
Call for papers
As an invitation to travel, escape and discover or simply as an opportunity
for leisure, tourism generates among recipients and professionals various
socio-cultural attitudes. Because of its rhythms, practices and behaviors,
the induced interculturality that it generates, tourism has now become
subject of anthropological, sociological, geographical and economic studies
that it would be useful to revisit.
Both by the capital it mobilizes, the jobs it creates, forms of mobility that it leads and dividends that it generates, tourism is, for some Mediterranean economies, a vital activity. Nevertheless, however it is also a sector as dynamic as vulnerable.
In fact, tourism can be undermined both by political and by climatic
fluctuations.
Mediterranean tourism is now confronted with the effects of global crisis,
which occurred suddenly. The risk of losing tourism revenues and to suffer
a serious increase in unemployment is a real threat to many countries
of the Mediterranean basin.
In social terms, tourism has also paradoxical effects. With vectors of synergies and symbioses of social change, it nevertheless may have perverse effects when it generates exposure to the other or when it is instrumentalized to consolidate conservatism.
What are the real chances in Mediterranean countries coping with the new challenges which face tourism? How can tourism activities avoid falling due to the effects of the global crisis? What responses will be observed among the various stakeholders? What social and spatial processes are there already, and which can happen? Are forms of competition and the competition among countries bordering the Mediterranean about to change? What kind of role is reserved for the media and new communications technologies in the dissemination of new tourism products?
These are questions that researchers (economists, geographers, sociologists, and anthropologists) are invited to treat. The following lines of investigation can be prioritized:
1. Mediterranean tourism: state of art (people and finance flows; predominate
spaces and
touristic homes; emerging touristic spaces).
2. Tourism in the Mediterranean basin: dynamics and vulnerability.
3. Old and new tourism products: risks and sustainable development.
4. The actors in tourism: economic imperatives and social demands.
5. Tourism and local societies between progress and effects.
6. Tourism and information and communications technologies.
