A few words from the Conference organisers

The end of the 20th century and the first decades of the 21st century, have been characterised by the intensive growth of cities and the tourist industry, and by the ever-growing awareness of development-related challenges, facing the whole human race. Large cities are at the heart of these major phenomena. Their populations are constantly growing; they are places where business, cultural, and scientific activities, are located. They also attract an ever-growing number of tourists. The fact that so many functions co-exist within the limited space of these cities, is both a chance for development, but also a source of potential conflicts.

The organisers of the conference have every intention of turning the event into a meeting of scientists and experts, representing the widest possible range of fields, concerned with creating and monitoring new developments in the tourist industry. The conference will aim at discussing the problems, which are of particular importance, in the context of the cities’ sustainable growth. The conference, as an international event, will allow participants to present opinions and findings coming from their different countries, cultures, and environments.

Topics:

Tourism versus global trends

  1. Demographic changes and the resulting challenges
  2. Globalisation processes and urbanisation
  3. Cross-cultural contacts

Tourism versus Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)

  1. Tourism in a metropolitan space – tourism and other functions of urban space, tourism, and gentrification, mobility, creating value, and landscape.
  2. Tourism as an element of building the metropolitan identity – image and promotion, heritage and its interpretation.
  3. Actions promoting tourism-related responsible consumption and production in metropolitan areas, – the management of resources.
  4. Tourism versus the living standards of inhabitants of metropolitan cities. Search for synergy, conflict resolution.
  5. Tourism – an element of the economic growth of metropolitan cities, entrepreneurship, workplaces, costs and benefits, and their distribution, fighting with poverty.
  6. Institutional support of tourism development – co-operation with local authorities, urban activists, and inhabitants. Structures supporting tourism growth, tourism as an element of policy, and the actions of city authorities.
  7. Modern technologies and innovations facilitating sustainable development of tourism in metropolitan cities.
  8. Inclusivity of tourism in metropolitan cities.
