The IGU Commission on Tourism, Leisure and Global Change & the IGU Commission on Islands cordially invite you to submit an abstract for consideration for the 2026 Joint Pre-Meeting, 14 - 16 August 2026, Büyükada, Princes' Islands, Istanbul, Türkiye.
The Pre-Meeting usually serves dual purposes: as a test lab for nascent ideas in progress or as a rehearsal for the wider congress that follows.
Arrival, 14 August - Delegates arrive in Büyükada
Day 1, 15 August - Pre-Meeting Symposium, Anadolu Kulübü Hotel
Day 2, 16 August - Büyükada Fieldtrip.
The 2026 Joint Pre-Meeting is dedicated to two of our staunchest supporters and long-serving members, the late Prof. Dieter K. Müller and the late Prof. Theano Terkenli.Dieter and Theano have made considerable contributions to the sub-field, tourism geographies, and their seminal works have guided particular areas of research on topics including polar tourism geographies, second home tourism, Sámi tourism, Arctification and regional change and labour geographies (Dieter), and cultural geography and landscape studies, critical tourism geographies, island studies, sustainable tourism and development, and everyday life and mobilities (Theano).
Accordingly, the overarching theme of the 2026 IGU Commission on Tourism, Leisure and Global Change & IGU Commission on Islands 2026 Joint Pre-Meeting, draws from the title of the book, Tourism, Mobility and Second-homes: Between Elite Landscape and Common Ground, (Hall & Müller, 2004) that presages the economic, social and environmental impacts of second homes, as well as their planning implications, placing discussions within the context of contemporary human mobility.
The Pre-Meeting usually serves dual purposes: as a test lab for nascent ideas in progress or as a rehearsal for the wider congress that follows.
