| |  | PRESIDENT´S MESSAGE IFTTA 20th Conference - Beijing, China The 20th Anniversary IFTTA Conference is scheduled for September 11-15 in Beijing, China. The Conference is organized in cooperation with the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and with the Beijing International Studies University (BISU) where the Conference will take place, and with the participation of the China Travel Law Association (CTLA). The BISU also offers accommodations for the participants in its campus hotel (not dormitories) at a very reasonable rate. As China is in the process of playing a major role in world tourism and in the global economy, this is an exciting opportunity for anyone interested in travel and tourism law to share experience and ideas and to network with colleagues in China and Eastern Asia. For the preliminary programme of the Conference as well as the registration form and the call for papers please check the IFTTA website: www.iftta.org. Because of visa procedures and availability of airline seats to/from China, it is recommended to register and make your travel arrangements as soon as possible. Best wishes, Dov Kolani |
