namely industry, destinations and research tracks. The conference also features
six to eight world class keynote speakers.
Location
ENTER 2015 will return to Lugano,
Switzerland, after the success of ENTER 2010. Thanks to a partnership between
the Area Tourism of the City of Lugano and the
University of Lugano (Università
della Svizzera Italiana, USI), the Italian part of Switzerland will once again
be the epicenter of the debate on new technologies in travel and tourism.
Call for
Research Papers
Research papers
are invited across the widest spectrum of Information and Communication
Technologies in Travel and Tourism. All submissions to the research track are
rigorously evaluated for novelty, significance, and soundness. Papers should
clearly state the background, introduction, purpose, theory, methodology,
results, conclusions and managerial/industry/social implications of the study,
and be fully referenced with appropriate citations. The proceedings of recently
held ENTER conferences are listed by ISI's Conference Proceedings Citation
Index - Science (CPCI-S). ENTER 2015 proceedings will follow a similar indexing
process for ISI and other major indices.
A)
Full Papers Full papers should
be innovative, so to advance the knowledge base of related fields. These papers
present major contributions to the field and should be up to 12 pages in
length. The conference proceedings (to be published by Springer International
Publishing) will include all accepted full papers. An award for the best full
paper will be presented during the conference.
B)
Research Notes Research notes of up to 5
pages are invited. These papers represent new ideas not
developed enough at the scale of a full paper, findings that restate known
research, descriptions of prototypes, or research that is limited in scope. All
research notes will be published by the e-Review of Tourism Research (eRTR) at http://ertr.tamu.edu/ (Editor of eRTR: Ulrike
Gretzel, University of Queensland, Australia).
C)
Organized Sessions Proposals for organizing
technical or other research-oriented sessions are invited. Proposals will
include details of potential participants, topics, and presenters. Session
Chairs are expected to attend ENTER 2015, set the order of
presentations, and chair their session/s. Deadline for session chairs to submit
their proposals to Research Track Chairs is August
31, 2014.

ENTER is the leading conference worldwide where experts and academics on
ICT and Tourism can follow the most recent research and exchange knowledge on future trends and on
the last innovations. As a member of IFITT, the community that has been
organizing ENTER for over twenty years,
I have always enjoyed the conference since it is an excellent
opportunity to learn and to contact colleagues from the most important
universities, as well as tourism and ICT organizations.
