2017 ANNUAL CONFERENCE New Approaches to Tourism Learning in Higher Education & Research on Coastal Tourism 7th-8th December 2017 at The View Hotel, Eastbourne (hosted by the School of Sport & Service Management, University of Brighton) This year, our pedagogic theme has been expanded to include a research theme on coastal tourism. The decision to include a research theme, in addition to our usual pedagogic theme and increasingly successful PhD Colloquium, was based on feedback from delegates at the successful 2016 Conference. To reflect the Coastal Tourism research theme, ATHE Conference delegates will have free access to a virtual special issue of Tourism and Hospitality Research, which includes selected Coastal Tourism articles published over the last 5-10 years. Speakers will provide us with the opportunity to reflect on experiences of new approaches to tourism learning in HE from an industry and academic perspective, with a particular focus on coastal destinations. Confirmed speakers include: Annette Allmark (Director of Strategic Policy, People 1st); Sam Richardson (National Coastal Tourism Academy); Bernard Donoghue (ALVA - The Association of Leading Visitor Attractions); Kurt Janson (Tourism Alliance); Dr Sandra Matthews-Marsh MBE (Visit Kent); Anthony Pickles (Visit Britain); Dr Jim Butcher (Canterbury Christ Church University); Phil Evans (Director of Tourism and Enterprise, Eastbourne Borough Council & ATHE Fellow); Dr Anya Chapman (National Pier Society & Bournemouth University), Dr Steven Goss-Turner (Chair, Eastbourne Education Business Partnership), Richard Moore (Source BMX Hastings) and Dr Maria Gebbels (University of Greenwich, PhD Alumni University of Brighton). – We are including a PhD Colloquium, sponsored by the Family Holiday Association, to encourage students to present at an established conference, meet potential employers and get constructive feedback in a friendly, supportive environment. Therefore we are seeking submissions on: New approaches to Tourism Learning in Higher Education: This theme focuses on new approaches in all aspects of curriculum and vocational development, teaching, learning
