Dear [[forename]]

Welcome to the April edition of the ATP newsletter.

Date: 17 April 2008

Tourism Academics and Industry Conference

ABTA, The ITT and the Tourism Society co-hosted the first of two one day conferences for the Tourism industry and academics on 17 June. To download the presentations click here.

The next conference will take place on 30 June in Birmingham. This is a great opportunity for the industry and educators to talk to one another and make sure that they get the best out of each other. The 17 March event was a great success and both industry delegates and teachers/lecturers found it very thought provoking. To add your voice to the debate book your place by clicking here.
