ATLAS OBJECTIVES

• To promote the teaching of tourism, leisure and other related subjects.
• To encourage the exchange of staff and students between member institutions.
• To promote linkage between professional studies in tourism, leisure and associated subjects and to liaise on educational issues, curriculum development and professional recognition of courses.
• To promote transnational research which helps to underpin the development of appropriate curricula for tourism and leisure education.

Consequently, ATLAS promotes linkages between member institutions through regular meetings and/or conferences, research and information exchange. At least one international conference for all ATLAS members is held each year, together with the Annual General Meeting.
