4th GCC Internal Tourism Development Conference 2011

Internal Tourism is a growth sector of great importance as a change agent for social and economic transitions. Within each country, internal tourism contributes to an improved balance of the national economy through a redistribution of the national income. Internal tourism also heightens the awareness of common interest and contributes to the development of activities favorable to the general economy of the country. Thus, the development of tourism from abroad should be accompanied by a similar effort to expand domestic tourism.

The 4th 4th GCC Internal Tourism Development Conference 2011 aims at exchanging ideas of the internal tourism industry related to local or domestic leisure, recreation and tourism patterns. It brings together innovative minds from across the industry to discuss practical ideas and solutions that inspire positive changes focusing on sustainability in the internal tourism industry while addressing the many constraints on the development of internal tourism.
