摘要会议是有趣的活动。它们是我们作为学者的生活中不言而喻的元素：经常每年举行的会议;在不同的地点举行;并涉及（希望）志同道合的人，旨在分享他们的最新研究成果。会议实际上是不言而喻的，以至于很少有研究分析会议上发生了什么，人们为什么首先参加会议，以及会议对与会代表的影响。这篇文章是，一方面，从一个学术会议的反思报告：TEFI 9-庆祝关怀旅游教育的破坏性力量。但它同时也是对参加学术会议的隐含和明确的理由和投资回报的分析，用当时三位博士候选报告员和一位教授特别报告员的话来说，他是这篇文章的叙述者。
ABSTRACT Conferences are funny events. They are self-evident elements of our lives as academics: meetings that occur, often annually; take place in various locations; and involve (hopefully) like-minded people, aiming to share their latest research findings. Conferences are actually so self-evident that very little research exists analysing what takes place at conferences, why people attend them in the first place, and essentially what the conference does to delegates as participants. This article is, on one hand, a reflective report from an academic conference: TEFI 9—Celebrating the Disruptive Power of Caring in Tourism Education. But it is also simultaneously an analysis of the implicit and explicit rationale and return on investment for attending academic conferences, in the words of three, at that time, PhD candidate rapporteurs and one professor rapporteur, who acts as this article’s narrator.
