Call for Papers – CoV6 Tenerife, 31 May to 4 June
2010.
COV6 Session 3.3:
Volcanoes: A Unique Adventure and Tourist Attraction
Session Abstract
Volcano tourism is recognised as a significant
element of nature-based tourism, geotourism and
ecotourism, adventure tourism and extreme tourism.
Millions of people travel to active and dormant
volcanic environments every year and it is important
to discuss all aspects of visiting these often quite
challenging areas to make volcano tourism for the
increasing numbers of visitors as safe as possible.
Temporary visitors are generally not included in
current risk management strategies which are in
place for residents living near active volcanoes.
Existing guidelines therefore need to be amended to
include temporary visitors, as these rarely have
sufficient information about evacuation procedures,
escape routes, shelters etc. in case of emergency.
This session will focus on volcanic and geothermal
environments as TOURIST DESTINATIONS with special
consideration of potential hazards, visitor safety,
the challenges of risk management as well as
sustainability issues in volcanic and geothermal
areas
Proposals for papers are welcome from all areas
addressing issues of tourism in volcanic
environments. Abstracts of no more than 300 words
should be sent to the convenors Patricia
Erfurt-Cooper and Rosaly Lopes by 28 February 2010.
