Themes for abstracts:
The organizers are looking for you to submit an abstract for presentation at the conference or poster exhibition under one of the above listed themes. The organizers welcome abstracts on these and other similar topics relevant to the conference themes. We are interested in case studies presenting examples of more or less successful cultural tourism actions (e.g. examples where local inhabitants organised themselves and stepped together to be successful and to utilise cultural values for tourism purposes), especially in rural or less favoured areas across Europe as well as presentations concerning special issues on rural tourism and rural culture.
The best abstracts will have the opportunity to make a lecture on the conference and all that reaches the needed quality might go to the poster exhibiton. The best ones from both will have the opportunity to make a full paper that will be published.
