The Tourism, Leisure & Recreation Unit of ATINER organizes its 21^st Annual International Conference on Tourism, 9-12 June 2025, 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.

Decisions are reached within 4 weeks.

If you want to participate without presenting a paper, i.e. organize a special session, chair a session, review papers to be included in the conference proceedings or books, or any other contribution, please send an email  to Dr. Gregory T. Papanikos, President, ATINER (president@atiner.gr).
