UHERO Research Fellow to appear at the Northeast Asian Economic Forum Meeting

UHERO Research Fellow James Mak to share his thoughts on tourism and tourism development based on 35 plus years of research at the Northeast Asian Economic Forum Meeting on August 2, 2011.

Dr. Mak’s presentation will be built around a few thoughtful quotations about travel and tourism.

The urge to travel is universal. Harold Vogel (2001)

Tourism depends on economic development and open, free societies. (Graham Todd)

The freedom to travel safely and cheaply is one of the great blessings of our time—something that immeasurably expands the range of human experience. (Michael Elliott, NY Times)

Tourism Reassessed: Blight or Blessing. (Frances Brown)
