Thompson Rivers University, Vancouver Island University and the University of Northern BC are pleased to extend this reminder of the Call for Submissions for the Rural Tourism Conference 2011 - April 19-21st in 108 Mile House (Hills Health Ranch) in BC. We would particularly like to encourage operators and leaders in rural communities who can speak to their own initiatives to submit a session. Delegates are keen to hear about who is doing what out there to develop tourism in rural communities.
Presentation options include: posters, oral presentations, experiential workshops or panel discussions (see attachment for details). Potential audience members include those working in: community economic development, tourism marketing/management, government, non profit and academia.
NOTE: - We have also added a sponsorship package to the site for those of you who want to partner with the organizers. And, for rural delegates - we have provided an application form for a subsidy to attend the conference.
