Tourism R&D will be viewed in a broader context, based on the needs of the tourism industry – in relation to nature, logistics, profitability, and destination development.
The seminar will offer input on how to lay the foundation for well-coordinated political initiatives involving R&D and industrial policy, particularly vis-à-vis the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food and the Ministry of Fisheries and Coastal Affairs.
Day 1: Nature-based tourism, with a primary focus on the project portfolio of the NATUROGNÆRING programme. Project presentations and discussion of new research needs, future research paths and potential partners.
Day 2: Knowledge base for policy formation and presentation of tourism-related projects under the SkatteFUNN tax deduction scheme. Presentations from representatives of the ministries, the tourism industry and the research community.
The deadline for registration is 10 January 2010. The seminar is free of charge, but participants are expected to cover their own travel and accommodation expenses.
