The BEST Education Network is holding Think Tank X, entitled “Networking for Sustainable Tourism”, in Vienna from June 27 - 30, 2010 in conjunction with MODUL University Vienna, Austria.

BEST Education Network is an international consortium of educators and researchers committed to furthering the development and dissemination of knowledge in the field of sustainable tourism. Its signature event, the annual Think Tank, focuses on specific themes related to sustainability and seeks to provide cutting-edge insight to the topic at hand. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Executive Committee decided to focus on providing a platform for knowledge creation, expertise and encouraging an open exchange of ideas through building links and creating partnerships.

The aim of the Think Tank is to highlight the importance of networking in creating and disseminating knowledge on sustainable tourism as well as in promoting and implementing more sustainable practices in tourism. BEST EN, being a network of tourism educators and researchers from around the world, wants to use this invaluable opportunity to establish and strengthen ties between leaders in the field of sustainable tourism, representing academia, industry and (non-) governmental organizations.

Special arrangements throughout the conference ensure ample opportunity to meet and discuss opportunities for future collaborations:

-          Networking lunch with presentation of posters,

-          Industry forum,

-          Networking workshop and evening reception,

-          Half day tour with teambuilding activities, and

-          Networking brunch.

The Think Tank is relevant to academics from tourism academia, industry and (non-)governmental organizations with an interest in contributing to better sustainable tourism practices.
