Conference Highlights
Important topical issues
‘Too much of a good thing, what should be the limits in tourists’ panel discussion, focusing on the balance between the benefits of tourism and the social problems and environmental derogation that it can cause. This is particularly pertinent in a traditional and environmentally fragile region like the Middle East. EAD will be joining this discussion.
