WKW Conference: Caring for the city: Entangled challenges for Sustainable Urban and Tourism Development

There is a movement to establish a more respectful, engaged and ecological tourism. Let's explore if that is possible. We welcome Cornelia Dlabaja's intervention, at the FH Wien, to debate the pros and cons of travel, with an academic conference, here in Vienna in September.

Whoosh will contribute to a panel on sustainable and innovative tourism, titled Tourism & Urban Futures: Innovative Pathways, along with researchers from Krems, Tirol, BOKU and Slovakia. As you can read, no snappy names at this particular gathering! Session starts at 13:30 on Friday.

We will present our new city branding, through coverage of our projects in the travel pages of Zeit, Oe1, USA Today, AFP, Conde Nast Traveler, National Geographic, BBC, Guardian, Süddeutsche, etc. You can learn more about Coffeehouse Conversations, alternative tours, Walking Week, DJ Eugene at conferences across Europe, our colourful website, and 'tourism for locals'.

We will celebrate Vienna tourism in alternative ways. Our relationship with the Kammer has not always been the most respectful, but productive ideas came out of that. Please register soon. More details here.

Later, Eugene will lead a Night Tour for conference delegates.
