Events

This conference will discuss the complex implications of the global economic downturn for the relationships between tourism, festivals and cultural events.

Call for Papers.
The organisers particularly welcome paper proposals that consider questions of how the balance between social, artistic and commercial aspects of festivals can be sustained during these challenging times and how festivals and cultural events and their attractiveness to tourists may contribute to addressing economic, social and environmental crises at local, regional, national and international levels.
Submissions in the form of a 300 word abstract should be sent to both Dr. Philip Long and Dr Lise Lyck by 15 January 2010.
