1st Congress of the COSTA Observatory of Tourism Culture
Opening session at the Miró Mallorca Foundation
On October 23rd, the auditorium of the Miró Mallorca Foundation will host the first edition of the COSTA Observatory of Tourism Culture Congress, where researchers, artists, and industry professionals will gather to analyze the impact of tourism from an eco-social perspective.
The COSTA Observatory Congress is structured around four fundamental axes: the production of tourism knowledge through art and science; creation as a territory of radical imagination; sustainability as an ethical and ecological framework; and the exploration of new research methodologies, such as the creation of a collective chair. The purpose of this professional gathering is to generate new narratives that transcend the current extractivist model and propose responsible alternatives that address these issues from theoretical, practical, and experimental perspectives, integrating innovation, memory, ecology, and social transformation, thus contributing to a more just and inclusive vision of tourism in the 21st century.
