| The Association for Interpretation (AI) plans to host its first annual international conference on the subject of heritage interpretation in May 2006 on the island of Puerto Rico. The conference will bring together 150-300 delegates from 30-40 nations in an effort to create opportunities for professional development for attendees and establish a network for professional associations and individuals involved in heritage interpretation around the globe. This capacity-building network will allow the exchange of ideas and facilitate working partnerships between nations with established interpretive organizations and developing nations that need assistance with the promotion and instigation of interpretive facilities to enhance tourism experiences, benefit local economies, and sustain sensitive cultural and natural heritage resources. |
