The conference includes three main seminars, the most prominent of which is the “Tourism Media: From Event Carrier to Destination Creator” symposium, with the participation of international experts to discuss the role of content and podcasting in promoting tourist destinations and attracting visitors.

​Impacts on the economy and tourism promotion
