The 1st PATA Sustainable Tourism Conference will be held in the lush setting of Indonesia`s Banten Province, under the theme: Protecting Indigenous Culture and the Environment for Sustainable Growth. The event is being developed as a forum for the academic community to meet with tourism businesspeople to discuss the development and promotion of sustainable tourism initiatives that are sensitive, practical and profitable. The event will feature objective conference sessions and case studies, a tabletop session of some of the region`s most unique sustainable projects, an off-site workshop for hand-on audit exercises, and pre- and post-event tour options.
