Subject: Call for Papers: BEST EN Think Tank XV: The Environment–People Nexus in Sustainable Tourism
Dear Colleagues,
We warmly invite you to the BEST EN Think Tank XV to be held at Kruger National Park, South Africa, from June 17-21, 2015 in conjunction with the Tourism Management Division at the University of Pretoria. Full details are provided in the attached Call For Papers. Please feel free to forward this information to interested people.
The focus of Think Tank XV is The Environment-People Nexus in Sustainable Tourism. The concept of sustainability in tourism is a challenging one, subject to much critical debate, especially with regard to finding an appropriate balance between the different dimensions of sustainable tourism. The location of the 2015 BEST EN Think Tank, Kruger National Park, offers an opportunity to explore the challenges of managing the relationships between people and places that are, or may become, subject to tourism development, including balancing social and economic needs with environmental considerations.
The focus of our collaborative think tank will lead to the joint production of outputs including teaching support materials, a research agenda and modules in the BEST EN Online Lecture series teaching module and a research agenda. As with previous Think Tanks outputs will be accessible to all (under a creative commons license) for further development and use in your teaching and research (e.g. http://www.besteducationnetwork.org).
Think Tank Topics
Participants are welcome to present both state-of-the-art empirical and conceptual research papers providing the basis for inspiring, critical and constructive sessions. Participants can examine any or all of the dimensions of sustainable tourism including environmental, economic, social or cultural, and we encourage multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary submissions. The range of topics includes:
- Sustainable tourism and community development
- Sustainable tourism and poverty alleviation
- Sustainability issues and practice in nature, rural, eco- and/or wildlife-based tourism
- Contested use and interpretation of people and places in tourism
- Third sector and NGO involvement in sustainable tourism
- Cross-cultural issues and values relevant to sustainable tourism
- Environmental impacts of tourism
- Economic aspects of protected areas and wildlife-based tourism
- Other topics relevant to sustainable tourism research and education
