The Tourism, Leisure & Recreation Unit of ATINER organizes its 20^th Annual International Conference on Tourism, 10-13 June 2024, Athens, Greece sponsored by the Athens Journal of Tourism.

You may participate as stream leader, presenter of one paper, chair a session or observer. As is the case with the many small symposiums organized every week during the May-July period an effort is made to bring disciplines together such as Arts, Culture and Tourism. Consistent with the theme of ATINER’s small academic events, all programs may include a few sessions on current topics in education and research.

Please note that all our conferences are non-thematic as explained in our policy (click here). However, academic members and friends can take the lead to organize and chair a stream as part of this conference. Please click here to see our members’ and friends’ small symposium proposals to be organized as part of this conference.
