2013 - Celebrating and Enhancing the Tourism Knowledge-based Platform: A Tribute to Jafar Jafari

Dear colleagues and friends,
The University of the Balearic Islands is delighted to announce a unique international tourism seminar for 2013.
This seminar celebrates and honours the contribution to tourism research and education of the life and work of Professor Jafar Jafari. For decades, Jafar Jafari's entrepeneurial spirit, creative mindset and personal commitment have resulted in the renewal and development of tourism scholarship. Examples of Professor Jafari's outstanding contribution are the founding of Annals of Tourism Research of which he was the Editor-in-Chief for 35 years and the International Academy for the Study of Tourism.
In addition to acknowledging the contribution of Jafar Jafari to tourism scholarship, the main purpose of this seminar is to expand and develop the tourism knowledge-based platform by inviting researchers to revisit, analyse and expand the legacy of Jafar Jafari in the fields of tourism paradigms, tourism research frontiers and tourism education.
