The ENTER Conference is an annual event of the International Federation for IT and Travel & Tourism (IFITT) community. The conference offers a worldwide and unique forum for attendees from industry, academia, government, and other organisations to actively exchange, share, and challenge state-of-the-art research and industrial case studies on the application of information and communication technologies in travel and tourism.
ENTER22
The ENTER22 Conference will be held 11-14 January 2022 at Nankai University in Tianjin, China. Provisionally, the format for the ENTER22 Conference will be online but could change to blended mode subject to the policy restriction in China, meaning delegates from around the world will have the choice of attending online, or, if possible, to attend the conference physically at Nankai University.
2022 will mark the 29th ENTER Conference organized by the IFITT, and in recognition of the expanding global IFITT community, the Conference is for the first time ever being held in China and hosted by Nankai University. Nankai University is located in Tianjin, one of the four municipalities of China. It is one of the earliest universities in China to offer undergraduate majors in tourism. ENTER22 will offer unique and exciting opportunities for the IFITT community to connect and engage in new conversations about IT development and research in e-Tourism.
The IFITT invites submissions of cutting-edge research and the latest case studies on emergent and innovative ICT concepts, applications, and business models to be shared at the ENTER22 e-Tourism Conference. The conference, with the theme “Preparing for travel’s return – the new future of e-Tourism”, will focus on the role of information technology in addressing the new challenges and opportunities for the tourism industry introduced by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
