The Objectives of this conference are to provide a platform for tourism students and educators, government agency employees, hospitality and tourism industry practitioners, public and private land managers, community development workers, and others interested in these issues to share, exchange and debate ideas and knowledge related to our understanding and management of tourism development and conservation. Through this, the conference aims to identify practical solutions, chart new directions, and create opportunities for sustainable tourism development in these special environments. Therefore, we encourage the submission of papers that explore ‘missing thinking’ about tourism geography and planning in the following (but not limited to) areas: 
  • The tourism landscape as a storytelling
  • Challenges and best practices of tourism planning
  • Sustainable tourism policy and planning
  • Governance in urban tourism destinations
  • Theme park: the landscape of dreamlands and imagined worlds
  • Globalization, culture landscape and tourism 
  • Big data and geographical analytics in tourism geography
  • Methodological issues in tourism geography and planning
  • Future trends in tourism geography and planning
