Abstract
Every two years, The International Association for Tourism Economics (IATE) organizes a Conference on Tourism Economics. The first IATE conference was held in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, in 2007, whereas the second one took place on December 2009, 11-13th, in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The choice to locate the second IATE conference in Thailand has been very meaningful, given that the recent rapid economic growth that this country experienced between 1985 and 1995 is due to a large extent to its well-known tourist destinations. The decision to locate an international conference on Tourism Economics in Thailand was strategical and significant, in order to incentivate the development of advanced research and collaboration among universities, banks, governments and industries. This Conference was therefore a way to contribute to the development of the country and to increase the productivity of its population and firms.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
