| HTMi Success at the Sustainable Tourism 2010 Conference |
Dr Hazel Sommerville, Head Of Research at HTMi, recently attended the Sustainable Tourism 2010 Conference held 5-7 July at the Lyndhurst Hotel, New Forest, UK. The Conference was organised by the Wessex Institute of Technology.
More than 60 delegates from 32 different countries attended this truly international conference. The main themes of the conference included: Emergent strategies for tourism development, Rural tourism, The impact of tourism on the environment; The development of tourism in protected areas, Climate change and the effects of natural hazards on tourism, Tourism as a tool for community involvement and New academic approaches and theoretical models for sustainable tourism.
Dr Sommerville presented a paper on ‘Sustainable Tourism Development in Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya, East Africa’, co-authored by Joseph Onchwati and Nick Brockway. The paper was very well received, generated many questions and much interest among conference delegates. The full paper is published in ‘Sustainable Tourism IV’, edited by C.A. Brebbia and F.D.Pineda, published in 2010 by WIT Press.
HTMi has been invited to develop the paper into a case study for inclusion in the forthcoming book ‘Sustainable Hospitality and Tourism: Case Studies from Developing Economies’ to be published in early 2011 by Elsevier.
