SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS: IGU 2011 Valparaiso, Chile

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

International Geographical Union
Pre-Conference Symposium 2011

Tourism and Heritage: Opportunities and Challenges for Conservation Geography

Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso, Chile
10?13 November 2011


Tourism and Heritage: Challenges for Conservation Geography

Heritage is an important resource for tourism. Globally tourism
activities based on the attractiveness of different kinds and scales
of heritage resources are growing which provides opportunities for
development, socio-economic benefit creation, conservation support,
education and learning, for example. Heritage tourism, including
cultural, ethnic and indigenous tourism, can also empower local
cultures and people and support cultural identities and traditions.
However, growing tourism and the use and creation of heritage sites
can also produce challenges and conflicts that relate to over
utilisation of heritage sites, power issues in participation and
cultural representations and misuse of heritage related socio-cultural
meanings and values in tourism. Therefore, tourism geographies,
conservation geography and heritage tourism development call for
further discussions, research and critical thinking on sustainable
heritage management.

The overall purpose of this symposium is to discuss the geographical
aspects of heritage tourism, including cultural and natural heritage
and related issues, and focus on the opportunities and challenges
based on growing tourism interest in heritage. A special aim is to
stimulate discussions on conservation geography and tourism studies.

Potential themes for presentations include, but are not limited to:

-heritage tourism
-cultural tourism
-ethnic and indigenous tourism
-community-based tourism
-urban heritage and tourism
-tourism and heritage conservation
-heritage and tourism impacts
-heritage management
-conservation geography and tourism
-governance of heritage in tourism development
