Happy World Tourism Day, dear friends!
Let's create a peaceful world through tourism!

28/08/2024

The final day of the 73rd AIEST Conference will be exciting as well:

27/08/2024

The 73rd AIEST Conference continues. Check today's programme below:

26/08/2024

The 73rd AIEST Conference starts in Bolzano/Bozen, Italy. Here is the programme for today.

19/08/2024

Tourism in Bolzano-Bozen and South Tyrol
Tourism is a key economic sector in Bolzano-Bozen and the broader South Tyrol region, contributing 11.4% to the local GDP. With 65,000 overnight stays per 1,000 inhabitants, South Tyrol has the highest tourism intensity in Italy – with the Dolomite municipalities being particularly affected.
The number of arrivals and overnight stays in South Tyrol has been steadily increasing, and after a pandemic-related decline, new record levels were reached in 2022. The majority of tourists come from Germany (48.8%), followed by Italy (31.5%). August is the peak travel month, accounting for 17.8% of all overnight stays.
In recent years, demand has grown for 4- and 5-star accommodations, as well as alternative options like private room rentals, farm stays, and camping. The region’s breathtaking natural landscapes and diverse activities, such as hiking and skiing, are the main draws, making South Tyrol a highly sought-after destination.

AIEST goes to Bolzano
The Italian city of Bolzano-Bozen offers a unique cultural mix between the Alpine and the Mediterranean lifestyle. This can not only be seen through the different architectural styles and the rich history of art that characterise the city, but also the mix of languages that are spoken there. Further, the city is known for its cuisine with its combination of Tyrolean dishes and Mediterranean flavours. Several museums and castles can be visited, among them the archaeological museum that exhibits Ötzi the Iceman, one of the oldest preserved mummies in the world.
Historically Bolzano-Bozen was a vivid trade fair between the North and the South, a tradition that is kept alive these days through an abundant calendar of events and happenings that make the city attractive all year around. Bolzano is also the gateway city to the mountains of the Dolomites that are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites and that attract millions of visitors all year long. Several cable cars make the surrounding mountains easily accessible.

What is the AIEST?

The AIEST is the oldest international association of scientific and practical experts with particular interest in tourism. It is a unique social network with around 300 members in 49 countries on all continents. This network is devoted to an interdisciplinary approach to serving the needs of research in tourism. It includes an Academic as well as a Practitioner stream that allow an international scientific and practical exchange. The AIEST has contributed much to an objective understanding of the modern phenomenon of tourism, and to the scientific acceptance of studies in this field. Its members help to pinpoint the latest developments and trends in tourism, and to devise farsighted solutions for new problems as they arise.

How does the AIEST work?

The AIEST above all tries to promote friendly and informal exchange among its members and to support them on their career path. The association operates a social network platform with specific expert groups and holds an annual meeting, at which all important decisions are taken, together with an annual scientific conference to discuss and review developments with colleagues all across the globe.
