Dear Colleague,
AQR-IREA is pleased to announce the 2014 BARCELONA WORKSHOP ON REGIONAL AND URBAN ECONOMICS: Cultural Tourism and Sustainable Urban Development that will be held on November 27th-28th 2014 at the University of Barcelona.
The aim of this workshop is to deeply analyse the relationship among cultural tourism, heritage and economic growth. The regional/local dimension will be one of the topics to consider. Also the relationship between cultural tourism and sustainable urban development will be analysed. The 2014 AQR-IREA Workshop is also the 4th International ERSA Workshop.
Furthermore, successful papers will be published in a Special Issue of Tourism Economics on the same topic.
The lectures of the Workshop will be given by Carlos Pestana Barros (Technical University of Lisbon and Editor of Tourism Economics) and Karl Wöber (MODUL University Vienna).

The accepted papers (between 7) will be presented in plenary sessions that will complement the keynote speakers presentation. Papers should be sent in pdf format to aqr_workshop@ub.edu before September 5th, 2014. Detailed abstracts will also be considered, but full papers will be favoured. Travel and accommodation costs for successful papers will be covered by the organisers.
