About the Conference

Children in Tourism Conference

Antalya is one of the world's most valuable destinations for family tourism. It serves as a significant global role model, both in terms of the number of families with children it hosts and the exceptional quality of child-oriented services provided by its resort facilities. However, this field remains underrepresented in international literature, and there is a notable disconnect between the industry and academia.

The conference aims to contribute to the development of child-friendly, safe, inclusive and sustainable tourism practices by bringing together academics, tourism professionals, educators, public institutions, suppliers and non-governmental organisations. A high level of participation — particularly from tourism staff who serve child guests (such as kids' club teams) and mid- and senior-level tourism managers — will enhance the impact of the conference.
