• Discussions and debates in March congress certainly will be extremely interesting – says Bartłomiej Walas from Touristic Department of UMK – mainly because of the recently growing discussion about how the tourism in historical cities should look like. Actual problems force the diagnosis and debates about tourism form. While the first conference discussed the relations between visitors and local residents, the second edition will be devoted to seeking the answer to the questions about the shape of so-called premium tourism.

Greatest experts and authorities of tourism industry would share their knowledge and experience in the following panels:

• Managing tourist experience
• The city of festivals or the festival city?
• Congress at all costs?
• Outdoor sporting events. Who are they really for?
