INTRODUCTION
This Conference will bring together a wide range
of reputed world leaders in tourism, high-level
policy makers, specialists and experts from both
the public and private sectors, to exchange
experiences, put forward valuable ideas and
provide guidance for future tourism development.
Each
of the sessions will be followed by a panel
discussion in which the ideas presented will be
analysed and practical recommendations for
action by other destinations will be developed.
By
sharing the experience of successful
destinations and organizations intimate with the
seas around the Pacific Ocean, the Conference will help
countries in the Asia Pacific region
spread the benefits of ecotourism to coastal areas and small islands,
thereby making an important contribution to one
of the elements of ecotourism – economic
benefits to the local communities.
The
participants are proponents and practitioners of
ecotourism in their respective fields and their
active participation in the panel session with
the speakers generates invaluable output and
conclusions.
