An outstanding program is taking shape for the 4th
IIPT African Conference scheduled for May 20 to 25, 2007 in Uganda. With
the high degree of interest that is being expressed, we have decided to
expand the program and are therefore pleased to have one more final call
for exemplary “Success Stories” and “Models of Best Practice” that
demonstrate in ‘real life’ projects, programs and initiatives - the
power of tourism to promote international understanding and cooperation;
environmental protection and preservation of biodiversity; wildlife
management; cultural and heritage integrity; sustainable wealth
creation/poverty reduction; community capacity building; and healing the
wounds of conflict. Nominations are particularly invited from Private Sector Executives, Executive Directors of NGOs and Associations; Heads and Project Directors of Government Agencies; Leading Practitioners; Entrepreneurs and SME Executives; and Leaders of Civil Society. |
