Testimonials
John Fotis, Lecturer, Leeds Metropolitan University
ENTER is the top event worldwide in the area of Information Technology in Tourism. It is exactly where one can find state of the art academic research but also industry knowledge and insights on trends and innovative applications that are driving change in Tourism. What I like most about ENTER was the plurality of the themes presented, but also the ideal mix of perspectives between the academia and the industry.
