XVII INTERNATIONAL TOURISM AND LEISURE SYMPOSIUM ESADE, 21st May 2008

PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IN TOURISM MANAGEMENT Both in the European public sector as well as in the private sector, there is a willingness to find new ways to take joint action in tourism management. This commitment has been translated into numerous initiatives which are being introduced successfully in different national, regional and municipal environments. The XVII ESADE International Tourism and Leisure Symposium analyses the new culture of cooperation and presents the best experiences of Spanish and European public-private partnerships in tourism management. The participation of academics, public leaders and executives will contribute towards creating a productive dialogue on the subject.   Josep-Francesc Valls Professor, ESADE Symposium Director
