Özet:

Hosted by Anadolu University’s Faculty of Tourism, the 20th National 4th International Tourism Congress was held in Anemon Hotel, Eskisehir between October 16th and 19th, 2019. The fact that Eskisehir has recently gathered momentum in city tourism contributed to the determination of the main theme, and “city tourism” was selected as the main theme of the congress. It was observed that plenty of participants from both international and national arenas were in congress in which several subjects such as economy, marketing and planning of city tourism, smart cities, social life in cities, tour planning and management were addressed. Including PhD colloquium, trip of Sivrihisar, exhibitions of crafts and tourism comics along with presentations and panels, the congresses had an interactive and rich program. “The PhD Colloquium” has been held with the presentations of 5 PhD students for the second time on October 16th, 2019 which was the second day of the Congress, after the first one held in the 19th National Tourism Congress. It is quite significant to have the colloquium in the congress which enables academicians and students to discuss thesis researches and to guide participants.
