1st International Conference on Climate Change and Tourism. The impacts at tourism destinations and adaptation to the changing conditions Djerba, Tunisia, April 9-11, 2003:
This is the first international conference specifically addressing the relationships between tourism and climate change. By convening this event, the World Tourism Organization aims primarily at developing awareness among tourism administrations, companies and other stakeholders about the climate change issue and defining a preliminary agenda of action for further research and the application of adaptive management techniques.
Update: 25 March 2003: WTO confirms that this event will proceed as scheduled despite the current situation in Iraq. The decision was taken after consultation with the Tunisian Government and consideration of all safety measures. So far WTO have received registrations from 40 different countries. Registration is still open for this Conference. Please find all technical and logistical details, including the latest programme draft with presentations and speakers, as well as the participation form, at:
