For this year, 2009, the annual meeting shall be through March’s first week, March 5th-13rd at Sawy Culture Wheel with the slogan “Heritage and Tourism”. The event is of three phases as follows:
Phase 0 “Training and Orientation”
A set of short presentation, each of 20-30 minutes is given that work as an orientation program for the participants. Topics include: Creative Thinking, Tourism in Egypt; Criticism and Hopes, Natural Heritage, Tourism in Egypt; Unbeaten Tracks, Heritage and Media and Egyptian folklore, among other topics.
Phase 1 “Heritage and Tourism”
Participants are divided into two groups namely “Heritage” and “Tourism”, each one shall be seeing its category as a must to be independent from the other. Discussions and negotiations are to take place between the two groups to get to a clear definition for the optimum relationship between heritage and tourism.
Phase 2 “Real-Life Case Studies”
For this phase, two real-life extreme cases are handled; the first one considered is where heritage was not made of use for tourism and see how that was for its good or bad. The other one is where tourism just treated heritage as a “raw-material” for a product! Discussions shall come up with a restoration plan for both cases.
With the work of the two groups, there exists the so-called “Board of Experts” that includes some experts from the field for evaluating and giving feedback about the proposed ideas and suggestions. Board includes Bassam El-Shammaa, Dr. Nafe’a Kotb, among others.
All the outcomes of the meeting shall be published in a paper, and be presented at Sakiat Al-Sawy on Friday, March, 13th that shall have invited government representatives and the supposed media focus.
Participation is open to all interested who would show creative thinking abilities, research skills, and good teamwork spirit. It’s your chance to use your mind, show your own ideas, and take the lead!
