Experts discuss sports tourism and sustainable management at UAlg
The University of Algarve (UAlg) will host the 10th Conference of the “International Research Network in Sport and Tourism: Sustainable Governance and Destination Management (IRNIST)”, which brings together experts to discuss the challenges of sports tourism and sustainable destination management.
With speakers from the USA, the UK, Australia, Chile and Portugal, the programme includes case studies such as the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, as well as topics related to strategies for organising and promoting events, adventure tourism, nautical tourism and the promotion of destinations such as the Algarve.
For Elsa Pereira, the event’s chair, the organisation of the 10th IRNIST Conference at the University of Algarve represents a strategic opportunity for “sharing interdisciplinary knowledge, strengthening national and international collaboration networks, and deepening dialogue with relevant stakeholders from the scientific, technical and political spheres”. The ESEC professor and researcher emphasises that “this meeting will not only enable the dissemination and appreciation of research carried out in Portugal and worldwide, but also the promotion of young researchers, the exchange of good practices and the identification of new opportunities for cooperation and funding”.
The event is credited for the ongoing training of Trainers, Exercise Technicians and Technical Directors, with the award of 3.6 credit units.
Registration is open until July 15th. For more information, please contact [email protected] .
Promoted by the International Research Network in Sport Tourism (IRNIST), in partnership with the Escola Superior de Educação e Comunicação (ESEC) and the Centre for Research in Tourism, Sustainability and Wellbeing (CinTurs) of the University of Algarve, the conference is being held, for the first time, in the Algarve, with the support of the Municipalities of Faro, Loulé and Lagos, the IPDJ, the Algarve Tourism Region, among other partner entities.
