Background to Girona / location of Conference:

Girona is a cultural city with Heritage and Gastronomy as the peak of their Iceberg. Girona still is an unknown treasure living under the shadow of Barcelona and the predominant Costa Brava Region.

The venue of the conference will be the Faculty of Tourism of the University of Girona, located in the heart of the Girona's old town, surrounded by the Roman and Medieval heritage adapted to the modern world. The faculty of Tourism is located in Saint Dominique's convent, an early gothic religious building founded in the 13th century. You will be able to enjoy the presentations in the old refectory or the plenary sessions at the praying room of Saint Michael.

Accommodation will be provided in some religious places, trying to bring to all the participants the perfect atmosphere of spirituality.
