Over the past four conferences, Critical Tourism Studies has profiled itself as a network of scholars who share a vision of producing and promoting social change in and through tourism practice, research and education. It has done this so far by seeking to legitimise the critical school of thought in tourism studies and by providing an inclusive environment for new and alternative voices in the academy. The fifth conference in the series focuses on whether and how the ‘production and promotion of social change’ can be facilitated and achieved. In this context scholars from tourism studies and the wider social sciences were invited to explore the potential of critical practice and activism in academia, and the role of the academic community in achieving social change. Presentations are available online.

The Conference is organised within the framework of the global ICPD beyond 2014 review on implementation of the Programme of Action agreed upon at the International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo in 1994 (ICPD PoA). The Conference brought together 200-250 representatives of governmental authorities, including high-level officials, academia and civil society organizations, as well as members of national parliaments and other national and international stakeholders to review the progress that has been made towards achieving the goals and objectives of the ICPD PoA in the UNECE region, identify neglected areas, and pinpoint what needs to be done to accelerate the implementation of the PoA and address the emerging issues. The Conference was expected to make recommendations on future policy actions, synergies with the post-2015 UN Development agenda and on how to effectively place the rights, gender equality and empowerment of women, as well as of adolescents and youth, at the core of sustainable development. A webcast of the event is available.
