Rotorua Museum is honoured to host this important gathering of colleagues from
around the world and I cannot think of a more appropriate location than
Rotorua, the centre of tourism in New Zealand, for a conference addressing the
themes of <i>Museums, Tourism and Visitor Experience</i>. From the earliest
European arrivals visitors from around the world have marvelled at the
geothermal and cultural wonders of this area and today we welcome over 2.5
million visitors a year.<br>
<br>
It will provide the opportunity for the museum sector to engage with the
tourism sector and enable both to learn more about each other and about the
challenges, opportunities and responsibilities of being involved in cultural
tourism. Outstanding keynote speakers have been invited to share their
perspectives and experiences while workshop sessions will enable smaller groups
to discuss ideas and issues in a less formal environment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The conference will be held in Rotorua, NZ from 24-28 November
2008 – see the website for more information - <span style='color:#548DD4'><a
