INTO 2016

November 24 y 25, Palma

 

Experiential tourism as a key tool for deseasonalisation

For the past 10 editions, since the first INTO in 2004, a variety of themes related to tourism products have been analysed, such as culture, yachting and health, as well as marketing instruments like branding and the social media. We have also debated the new ways of addressing sustainability in the sector with major issues like climate change. Likewise, we have examined issues related to the evolution in the technology used in the tourism industry in order to analyse tourist behaviour and use these new technological tools to create and/or transform tourist destinations sustainably.

In this 11th edition, representatives from the public administrations, businesses, researchers, professors, students and professionals from a variety of fields will gather to speak about and analyse the concept of experiential tourism as a tool for deseasonalisation. Thus, on the 24th and 25th of November, we will analyse the impact of seasonality, present several strategic reflections on the need to design tourist experiences, study different models to create and introduce sustainable and responsible tourist products and experiences, and discuss what kinds of policies could be designed to lower seasonality. Furthermore, a participative workshop will be held with dynamics in design thinking and creativity in lateral thinking.

The main goal of the INTO seminar is to foster the transfer of knowledge and promote innovation throughout the entire value chain in the tourism industry in order to improve the competitiveness of the Balearic Islands.
