Organised by the journal ANATOLIA, the 6th Interdisciplinary Tourism Research Conference will take place 2 – 7 October 2018 in Cappadocia, Turkey.
The conference aims particularly to emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of tourism, hospitality and leisure research and attracts submissions in two categories: First, it encourages those faculty members and/or graduate students studying in other fields, but have research interests on tourism. Second, for those contributors with a background in tourism, the paper should be written by at least two multiple authors and each author represents a different discipline.
