  Black or dark tourism?

  Le tourisme noir (dark tourism) intrigue. Ainsi baptisé par John Lennon et Malcolm Foley (1996), il est décrit comme « l’acte de voyager vers des sites qui sont associés à la mort, à la souffrance et au macabre » (Stone, 2006 : 146). Ce n’est que depuis la fin du XX^e siècle que des chercheurs et autres experts du tourisme se sont attardés à ce phénomène qui demeure, encore aujourd’hui, relativement peu étudié. Pourtant, il s’agit d’une pratique qui prend ses racines dans l’histoire et qui a connu, au cours des dernières décennies, un élargissement de l’offre et de la demande.

  Understanding self and others: new touristic, domestic, international practices and touristic promotion of the heritage in East Africa

  This symposium will gather researchers and professional actors of the tourism with different events (symposium, exposition, public conference, field day) around the theme of the new practices and forms of touristic and patrimonial promotion in East Africa. The touristic studies are fast growing in the main universities in East Africa with the emergence of new forms of tourism. Those countries are in their national construction and decentralization phase that vivify feeling of national belonging with territorial, regional or even ethnic resilience. Therefore the developing tourism of the natural and cultural heritage becomes a serious challenge for national and regional public policies.

  Communication in the tourist sector: strategies for all participants in the areas of tourism

  International conference

  Although the tourism communication concept is still to be defined precisely, this international conference aims at exploring the relationships between communication strategies for those who are involved in the tourism industry and tourists. A further complication is that lots of areas are more and more very proposed with a particular identifying emblem. Communication in the tourist industry today is diverse and, from a tourist’s point of view, very confusing. The Conference aims to provide a critical dialogue beyond disciplinary boundaries: Communication research, Geography, Cultural Studies, History, Sociology and Tourism Studies. We’d like to investigate in particular the areas and the actions of communication in the tourist sector.
