The 19th Nordic Symposium in Tourism and Hospitality Research, to be held in Akureyri,

North Iceland 22nd – 25th September 2010, is gaining interest world-wide.

The most recent events include the confirmation of keynote speakers

and the development of the pre-conference PhD workshop.

The confirmed keynotes are:

John Tribe, professor of Tourism at the University of Surrey (see here)

  Anne-Mette Hjalager, external associate professor of the University of S. Denmark (see here, USD was last year’s host)

Annette Pritchard, director of the Welsh Centre for Tourism Research (see here)

The fourth is yet to be confirmed.

Our keynotes, in addition to giving opening addresses on each of the two conference mornings,

will be instrumental in the success of the pre-conference PhD workshop to be hosted by Hólar University College (see here).

The setting is the beautiful Skagafjörður valley the "home" of the Icelandic horse (see here).
