Tourism and Migration will be Focal Point for Online Conference

(PRWeb) February 28, 2007 -- Planeta.com hosts an online conference focusing on Tourism and Migration which highlights timely news and innovative work around the world.

Tourism enterprises are increasingly considered as as providing an alternative to migration and a vehicle to alleviate poverty in developing economies by creating jobs. Likewise, tourists are staying longer in places -- blurring the distinction between tourism and migration. The Tourism and Migration E-Conference will allow participants time to prepare recommendations and announce individual and collaborative endeavors.
