The United Nations World Tourism Organization defines Cultural Tourism as a category of Tourism that helps tourists learn about other touristic places while excavating their cultures, arts, literature, and history. They also believe that tourists aim to fully experience and consume the tangible and intangible cultural attractions and products in a touristic destination as a way of fully experiencing this foreign culture.

Cultural tourism as a contemporary phenomenon stands to benefit nations around the globe, spreading their cultural values and norms internationally, and attracting tourists to their cities. Tourism in general stands to greatly boost the economic strength of countries, through the active engagement of the tourists in consumerism, and exchange with local businesses. Many countries’ main source of income stems from cultural tourism, where people visit to experience historical landmarks, local cuisine, and architectural sites. In recent times, nature-based tourism has also gained traction worldwide, where tourists show their appreciation of lush forestry, colossal mountains, and wild preserves, echoing the sentiment of landscape preservation, and a focus on promoting & conserving green spaces.

The sustainability of cultural tourism is thus essential, to continually reap its benefits through time. One of the most pressing facets that demands sustainability, is the mobility through which tourists traverse the globe. Ensuring a sustainable method for travel and mobility will mitigate the effect of transportation on the climate, and preserve our planet. It is also of utmost importance that the attractive landmarks of cities be preserved, lest they erode with time. This is possible through the incorporation of social development, a focus on green public spaces, integration of digital technology, and promotion of health, safety, and responsible waste management around touristic landmarks.

IEREK is organizing the 5th edition of the international conference on Cultural Sustainable Tourism (CST) to help researchers discuss sustainable approaches to preserving the cultural heritage of countries all across the globe. This conference aims to create a mutual understanding in regards to the importance of green tourism by explaining the various techniques that different civilizations use to spread their cultures.

The 5th edition of this conference is an opportunity for participants of different cultures and backgrounds to present their unique natures while also allowing themselves to fully integrate themselves into new cultures.

Conference Scope:

The scope of this conference extensively covers the subject of sustainability specifically concerning cultural tourism, which is essential to the topic, to continually reap its mutual benefits for cities, residents, and tourists for generations. The conference addresses a multitude of essential issues covering the subject of tourism, including cities’ heritage preservation, environmental & green tourism, economic impacts of tourism, digital integration in the tourism experience, and principles of sustainability within the discipline.

Statement of purpose:

This conference aims to ensure a sustainable method for travel and mobility, mitigating the harmful effects of international transportation on the climate, and preserving a safe future for our planet. This conference also aims to preserve the historical, and cultural hallmarks of nations & cities, while ensuring a captivating, and comfortable experience for tourists. Aiming to achieve these aspirational goals, the conference aims to enrich and enliven aspects such as social development, a focus on green space incorporation, integration of digital technology, promotion of health & safety, and responsible waste management around touristic areas.

  • Confirm your submission by ticking having read the instructions and “submit Abstract”

Step 2.1: Abstract Acceptance

• After acceptance of your abstract of at least (150 – 300 words), you will receive a proforma invoice and specific instructions to complete the payment online or by bank transfer (See Conference Fees) to confirm your participation,
• Once your abstract has been accepted, please refer to the important dates tab and carefully review the announced dates to avoid late payment, as late payment comes at an extra charge (early bird/regular/late).
• After successfully completing payment, you will be issued upon request with the following:
  • A signed/ stamped abstract acceptance letter
  • Please note that acceptance of participation, abstract submission, and extended abstract/short paper submissions all have different deadlines. To stay up to date and avoid paying extra fees, or delaying your paper, please carefully review the important dates tab.

Step 3: Rigorous Peer Review Process (double-blind)

This process can only be initiated after payment completion and confirmation:

• If submitted, the extension (short paper) will be preliminarily checked (iThenticate plagiarism/ similarity screening Software, readability, and scope) and it will be peer-reviewed. If similarity issues are detected, the following will apply:
  • % from all sources: 10-15%
  • % from one source: 3-5%
  • Higher than 30% (all sources): Reject completely
  • Lower than 30% (all sources): Ask for revision to decrease the similarities
• IEREK has an unyielding policy regarding plagiarism. We believe that copying/ taking the ideas and work of other Authors without permission and credit is fraudulent. The Reviewing committee and IEREK employees have the authority to reject a paper during its reviewing process, on the basis of the paper being subjected to either minor or major plagiarism.

• If your short paper is accepted by the Editors for publishing with comments/ requested modifications, our Editors (publishing department) will contact you once a decision is made and you will be asked to revise and correct it. After resubmission, it will be re-checked. Note: There may be more than one round of peer review and the decision rests with the editors of the title. Missed deadlines may result in complete exclusion/ rejection from the final publication.
• If your short paper is accepted for publishing without edits/ comments, the corresponding author will be contacted to provide the final version of their chapters/ papers following Springer Guidelines and sign the Springer consent-to-publish (CTP) form to authorize publication in the conference proceedings.
• A back-and-forth process: modifications will be sent back to the responsible Editor/ Series Editor and another round of evaluation conducted where needed. Participants/ Authors should regularly check their emails (Junk/ Spam folders).
• If you are not interested in publishing an extended abstract in the proceedings in ASTI by Springer Nature, please inform the conference support ([email protected]).

Step 4: Extended paper
