Conference at Swansea University

Chairing a conference panel at Swansea University
In mid-September Janet chaired a panel at the annual conference of the Association of South East Asian Scholars UK on 'Resilience in Tourism'. There were some excellent presentations, including:
-
the surge in tourism development in
Siem Reap
,
Cambodia
, and the challenges for urban planning
-
a vulnerability assessment of tourism in
Thailand
after the 2004 Asian tsunami
-
the role of agri-ecotourism in reducing unemployment in West Java, Indonesia
-
World Heritage Site research in
Thailand
and
Indonesia
presented by four people. Some common themes were that sites often have
complex ownership and management systems involving different authorities, and that interpretative facilities are often aimed at international audiences, despite the importance of domestic tourism.
The sessions were well attended with some useful discussions. Please contact Janet for more information on the presentations.
