IV International Congress on Tourism
3rd-5th December, 2015
Guimarães, Portugal
We are pleased to invite you to participate in the fourth edition of the International Congress on Tourism (CIT 2015), organized by the Polytechnic Institute of Cávado and Ave (IPCA) in cooperation with the Municipality of Guimarães and the Porto and North Tourism Entity (Guimarães delegation). The congress will be held on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of December 2015 under the main theme "Tourism for the 21st Century".
CIT 2015 addresses several issues related to the future of tourism in the 21st century with a “back to basics” approach to new challenges and trends. Tourism can be the "fuel" for the economy, creating new societies and contributing to a new paradigm of a democratic system of governance. In addition to its importance to the global economy and job creation, tourism can contribute to peace and intercultural communication. This “happiness industry” can contribute to the trade balance as well as environmental and socio-economic sustainability.
This forum involves the core trilateral for planning and development success in the industry, including researchers, business community, policy makers and engineers who, directly and indirectly, influence the future of this sector.
