About ICTCHS2010
For the first time, an international conference on tourism between
China and Spain will be held in the tourist capital of Balearic Islands
- Palma de Mallorca,
Spain.
Tourism has become one of the most important industries in Spain.
During the last four decades the Spanish tourism industry has grown to
become the second biggest in the world. According to the data from WTO,
2007, Spain is the second biggest country in the world for tourism
destinations, in terms of arrivals, only next to U.S. and the second in
the world in terms of tourism revenue, next to France.
At the same time, tourism industry is growing very rapidly in China.
China has become a favorable destination for Europeans and people all
over the world.
We believe that an international conference on tourism between China
and Spain will provide an opportunity for researchers, professionals
and industrial actors to exchange their successful experience on the
development of the tourism. It will be a meeting point for
professionals from other countries that are interested in the tourism
industry in both countries.
The conference will provide a forum for the participants to present
their research results and practical experience on the development of
the tourism in all the areas. All the paper contributions about
tourism development, experience and case study, analysis of tourism
resource, tourism market about China and Spain are all welcome.
