Following the discussion in Turkey about increasing visibility of the Academy,
the new Executive Committee would like to encourage fellows to consider which
other conferences related to tourism could be sponsored by the Academy. The
committee encourages Academy fellows to propose such conferences based on the
Academy Sponsorship Policy stated below.
Academy Sponsorship Policy
The use of the Academy's official name, International Academy for the Study
of Tourism (IAST), is authorized as sponsorship for other conferences provided:
The conference is of scientific merit where tourism research is presented
or discussed. The majority of the conference must be devoted to discussing
tourism research and related issues.
No monetary support is requested from the Academy. Sponsorship is by
name only.
At least three complimentary conference registrations must be provided
to members of the Academy that intend to present at the conference.
At least one Academy member must be a member of the scientific organizing
committee or a keynote speaker.
The Academy's name and logo is prominently displayed in all conference
material.
An official request for Academy sponsorship must be made to the President
of the Academy by a member of the conference organizing committee. The request
will be circulated to members of the Executive committee for review.
A copy of proceedings or other conference output must be made available
to the Academy at no cost.
The Academy will not be liable for any expenses or commitments unfulfilled
by members of the sponsored conference organizing committee
