Kanas National Park is located on China's border with Mongolia, Russia and Kazakhstan in the Xinjiang-Uighur Autonomous Region. We believe that this will be among the most remote international tourism conferences ever held...

Conference Theme:     Emerging Landscapes and Frontiers in Tourism Research
including...
       - Developments in tourism theory
       - Emerging tourism topics and issues
       - New tourism peoples and cultures
       - Tourism destinations on the global frontier

Important: Due to limited space at the conference venue, this meeting is limited to 100 participants, including both domestic (China) and international delegates. In the event that more than 100 registrations are receiived, conference organizers will need to be selective. Preference will be given to high quality abstracts that are appropriate to the conference themes, abstracts that have been submitted early, and support and participation by presenters for past conferences in the China Tourism Conferences series. We apologize in advance if your paper and registration are not selected.
