 International Student Conference in Tourism Research

(ISCONTOUR 2014)

5 – 6 May 2014

IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems, Austria

Tourism is one of the most important industries, contributing an estimated 5% to the

worldwide gross domestic product (GDP) and creating thousands of jobs in the service

industries associated with tourism. Universities and Universities of Applied Sciences play a

major role in both the tourism education as well as the knowledge transfer between academia

and practitioners from the industry.

The aim of the International Student Conference in Tourism Research is to offer students

a unique platform to present their outstanding research and to establish a mutual knowledge

transfer forum for attendees from academia, industry, government and other organisations.

More than 200 delegates from 18 different nations attended the 1st International Student

Conference in Tourism Research.

The annual conference, which is jointly organised by the IMC University of Applied

Sciences Krems  and the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, will take place
