eTourism:The View from the Future - If you thought today was scary - find out what tomorrow holds for our industry!

Organised by the International Federation for Information Technology and Travel & Tourism (IFITT), ENTER 2008 offers a unique forum for academics, industry and government to present and debate state-of-the-art research and industry case studies on the application of information and communications technologies to tourism and travel. .

We are once again delighted to be offering the flagship conference for ICT in Travel & Tourism - this year returning to its founding home in Innsbruck. Once again we will be adopting the successful mix of tracks which sees our well-established and very highly regarded Research Track alongside our acclaimed eDestinations Track and cutting-edge Industry and Innovations Track. Once again following the success of previous years there willbe a local programm - The Austrian Day - not forgetting our pre-ENTER PhD workshop. We have terrific teams chaired by world-leading figures and the rich programme of speakers is of course accompanied by well-structured networking opportunities including our legendary Gala Dinner!

Full programme details will appear shortly, however, you may whet your appetite in considering our opening Keynote from Geoffrey Lipman - Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) who will provide an insight into the global perspective of UNWTO on the new technologies and perhaps the keynote from Eric Basha, Industry Managing Director, Microsoft Corporation will shake up your thinking with his take on enabling technologies in Tourism.....anyhow, watch this space - and book your place now - Innsbruck will undoubtedly provide a remarkable location for ENTER 2008.

With its high-tech conference venue, Innsbruck is easily accessible for international participants, and offers a rich cultural experience combining tradition with modern values.
