ICE-MTM 2021

Date Re-Scheduling 1^st - 3^rd August 2021 to 15^th - 16^th January 2022

Greetings from ICE MTM-2021,

At these trying times, we stand together with you all to make health and safety the priority. Let's do our part as global citizens to observe the preventive measures and take good care of ourselves, our family, neighbours, and communities.

We want to share with you that we have re-scheduled the conference date on the demand of participants globally. Earlier 7^th FsCongress2021 "International Conference on Excellence in Marketing & Tourism (ICE MTM-21) was scheduled to be held from 1^st – 3^rd August 2021, but now it is finalized to be held from 15^th – 16^th January 2022.

The main reason for the change in the conference date is to give the authors sufficient time to align their manuscript with the Special Issue' themes & sub-themes taken for the conference and mould their full manuscript as per the associated Journals. As everyone was having a callous time during the last 3-4 months due to COVID-19, there are several requests to give them extra time to write quality papers to meet the standard of the Journals' requirements. So, considering this pandemic situation, we decided to extend the conference date. I believe you all will support us and give your positive feedback on this re-scheduling.

About Us

On behalf of FsCongress - International Congress on Social Science - Turkey, and BlueForskning Research Academy - India, we would like to extend a heartfelt welcome to all the esteemed delegates at the International Conference on Excellence in Marketing & Tourism Management, which will be organized virtually during 15th - 16^th January 2022. 

We also have a journal in our bucket "Fiscaoeconomia journal." This journal is the product of the Fsecon Community (Fsecon Society). which was founded under the leadership of Ahmet Arif Eren and Orhan Şimşek. It is possible to consider the congress titled “Quovadis Social Sciences” organized in 2014 by Ahmet Arif Eren 2014 as the starting point of the journal. Fiscaoeconomia is a peer-refereed open-access international journal focusing on political economy. Fsecon tries to make significant contributions to the relationship between state, economy, and society and wants to become an important means of communication. In addition to book reviews, each issue contains the products of original research on economics, sociology, and other related social sciences. The increasing interest in the journal as the first issue was published in 2017, revived the idea of organizing a congress that contributed to the existence of the journal.

Fiscaoeconomia Journal indexed in 23 indexes internationally, approximately 120 international articles were published in a short period of 3 years. More than 450 papers were presented in 4 international congresses held until May 2020.
