The Conference will take place in a hybrid format ONLINE (on Zoom) and OFFLINE (in Okinawa, Japan) from June 28 to July 1, 2021. The main theme of the conference is “Localization and Globalization of Tourism in Europe and Asia”. the EATSA 2021offers a worldwide forum for attendees from academia, industry, government, and other organizations to actively exchange, share, and challenge the state-of-the-art research and case studies on travel, tourism, hospitality and recreation. EATSA is the premier conference focused on understanding the current state of research in Asia and Europe.

Fees

We have endeavoured to guarantee the highest quality standards at minimum cost. Hence, we took into consideration the suggestions received during the last conference;  that we needed to facilitate and encourage scholars from countries with a lower per capita gross domestic product. For EASTA 2021 and beyond, we have developed a more equitable conference fee structure, with a discount system based on the gross domestic product per capita (based on 2018 World Development Indicators published by the International Monetary Fund).

Discounts will be only available for the cost of the conference and not for the membership or the extra activities. For example, if the Fees are 320 €  and the membership is 40 €, then the discount will be applied only in the conference cost 320€-40€=280€.  So, if the discount is 5%, the final cost will be 280€ – 5%= 266€ + 40€= 306€

VISA FEE

Visit the Embassy of Japan website for the most current visa information.

Entry & Exit:

  • You must have a valid passport and an onward/return ticket for tourist/business “visa free” stays of up to 90 days. Your passport must be valid for the entire time you are staying in Japan.
  • You cannot work on a 90-day “visa free” entry.
  • “Visa free” entry status may not be changed to another visa status without departing and then re-entering Japan with the appropriate visa, such as a spouse, work, or study visa.
  • Japanese immigration officers may deny you entry if you appear to have no visible means of support.
  • All foreign nationals are required to provide fingerprint scans and to be photographed at the port of entry. Exceptions to this requirement include diplomatic and official visa holders, minors, and individuals covered under SOFA Article IX.2. For further information about landing procedures, please visit the Immigration Bureau of Japan’s website.
  • Make sure your passport is valid. Japanese immigration occasionally encounters U.S. travelers attempting to enter Japan on a passport that had been reported lost or stolen and denies entry to such travelers. In many of these cases the U.S. citizen traveler claims they are traveling on a passport that they had previously lost and reported as lost or stolen, but then subsequently found and used for travel. If you have reported your passport lost or stolen, you must apply for a new passport before travel.

Transiting Japan: 

  • Ensure that your passport and visa are valid and up to date before you leave the United States. Passport services are not available at the airport.
  • Airlines in Japan may deny you boarding for transit if you don’t have the required travel documents for an onward destination in Asia or if your passport does not have six months of validity remaining. For the entry requirements of the country you’re traveling to, visit the State Department’s Country Specific Information website.
