paper (max. 5,000 words) and poster abstracts (max. 5,000 characters) Rural tourism has attracted increasing
interest from academics, politicians and practioners alike. However contested
its definition, the countryside’s popularity amongst urban populations,
and the socio-economic and environmental challenges faced by both rural areas
and by rural tourism, are strong themes worldwide. Those challenges include the
decline and change of traditionally dominant agricultural and productive
functions, the potential development of the countryside as a place of hedonic
consumption, all coupled with numerous management issues. The list of issues is
enormous: tensions and interactions between global and local, rural and urban;
man versus nature; anthropocentric versus eco-centric; production and
consumption; past, present and future; conservation and progress; nostalgia,
imaginary and real; the desires and expectations of a growing series of diverse
stakeholders with distinct interests in the “rural space”. This conference, prepared as part of a
3-years research project on the “Overall Rural Tourism Experience”
(ORTE) in three Portuguese villages, offers an in depth discussion of the
“rural tourism experience”, its manifestations, meanings, impacts
and evolution. It intends to significantly contribute to current reflections on
the potential and limitations of rural tourism as a development tool as well as
to the identifi Seven main themes are suggested for
guiding discussions on the rural tourism experience: 1. Understanding the rural tourist: their
motivations, perceptions, sensations, experiences, memories and imagination 2. Understanding rural residents’
experience with tourists 3. Experience design with endogenous
resources (focusing on “countryside capital”) 4. Entrepreneurship and innovation for
quality rural tourism experiences 5. Marketing the rural tourism experience:
co-creation, experience design and promotion 6. Networks and Strategic Partnership for
enhancing the Overall Rural Tourism Experience 7. Enhancing sustainable development
through rural tourism experiences Publi Keynotes: Keith Halfacree ( Elisabeth Kastenholz ( Nancy McGehee (Virginia Tech) Gunjan Saxena ( Richard Sharpley ( Hio Jung Shin ( Enclosed, please, find more details, or
