Researching Destination Management, Policy and Planning: Linking Culture,
Heritage and Tourism

Riga, Latvia, 24-25 September 2007

The conference entitled Researching Destination Management, Policy and
Planning: Linking Culture, Heritage and Tourism, jointly organised by the
Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change and the Leeds Metropolitan
University, will be held in Riga, Latvia on 24-25 September 2007.

Culture(s) and heritage, both tangible and intangible are at the heart of
the visitor experience of destinations. At the level of policy making and
planning, the importance of destinations' unique and distinctive cultural
attributes for the tourism sector is commonly articulated, at least
rhetorically. The management of cultural and heritage assets for tourism
is also a critical issue for destinations. However, working connections
and collaboration between agencies and stakeholders in these domains are
often weakly developed in practice. Inter-disciplinary research at the
interface of the complex linkages between these sectors and professional
interests has much to contribute to terms of critical, reflective debate
on key issues affecting the relationships between culture, heritage and
tourism at the destination level.

Research in destination policy, planning and management also explores the
competitive opportunities and pressures associated with the emergence of
new and diverse international tourist markets. Such research makes a
critical contribution in the development of creative and sustainable
strategies for the culture, heritage and tourism sectors in destinations.

The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers who share
interests in destination policy, planning and management in relation to
culture(s), heritage and tourism. These research areas are also clearly
relevant to professionals in destination management and the conference
will provide a unique opportunity for researchers to share leading edge
ideas, innovations and critical thinking with the professional destination
manager participants at the European Union of Tourist Officers (EUTO)
Study Visit to Latvia which coincides with the conference. There will also
be opportunities for delegates to participate in parts of the EUTO
programme.

Theoretical and applied issues and themes to be explored at this
conference include:

creative uses of cultural and heritage resources for tourism,
cultural events and festivals as animators of place,
transnational approaches to and conceptions of destination planning in
urban and rural contexts,
community participation in destination development,
building sustainable partnerships and stakeholder relationships between
tourism, culture and heritage in destinations,
managing cultural heritage and sensitive sites for tourism,
competitive advantage, new tourist markets and destinations,
new and emerging technologies in destination representation and marketing,
and destination image and branding.
To submit a paper proposal, please send a 300-word abstract with full
address and institutional affiliation details as an electronic file to Dr.
Philip Long at p.e.long la leedsmet.ac.uk. The deadline for the reception of
abstracts is 13 July 2007.
