Kia Ora! We are pleased to announce that abstracts for the 5th International Coastal & Marine Tourism Congress (CMT), hosted by AUT University (School of Hospitality & Tourism, Faculty of Applied Humanities), the New Zealand Tourism Research Institute (NZTRI), and the University of Washington (School of Marine Affairs), can now be submitted. The CMT’07 will be a high profile international conference, with delegates from academia, industry, policymakers, and other stakeholders. Invited keynote speakers include Professor David Fennell (Brock University, Canada), Associate Professor James Higham (University of Otago, New Zealand), Professor Marc L. Miller (University of Washington, USA), Dr. Mark B. Orams (Massey University at Albany, New Zealand), and Professor Jeffrey Wilks (University of Queensland, Australia). Please submit your abstract (250 words) directly online at: http://nztri.aut.ac.nz/cmt2007/pages/index.php Authors are required to use the online forms * abstracts by e-mail cannot be accepted. Authors will receive a confirmation by e-mail, along with a login and password for the future management of their abstracts, and later full and working paper(s) and poster(s). Alternatively, potential delegates are encouraged to register their interest on the same webpage, if they are undecided about an abstract, or want to attend the conference without presenting. This is no commitment at this stage, but helps us planning. We are very much looking forward to your abstracts, and of course to welcoming you here in the City of Sailsin 2007! All the Best!
