- Abstract
This section features tenth annual Las Vegas Tourism Security and Safety Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 2002. As is the conference's tradition, all sessions are held as plenary session with a daily summary given by Peter Tarlow. The theme was protecting the international market and as such a great deal of emphasis was placed on involving speakers from different nations. The motivation for this theme was the 2002 Olympic Games to be held in Salt Lake City, Utah. Delegates came from North America and Asia. As is the conference's tradition all speaker are active practitioners in the field of tourism security. In honor of the tenth anniversary and the international character of the conference, the conference began with a color guard, followed by words of welcome from Clark County Sheriff Jerry Keller, Keller is the chief law enforcement officer for the host city of Las Vegas and heads the city's Metro Police Department. Tarlow summarized the 2001 conference by reminding delegates that their job is to think creatively, to go beyond petty bureaucratic arguments and to seek ways in which each person can travel in safety and security. The conference emphasized the notion that good security is good business and as the world becomes ever more intertwined, the roles of security professional and goodwill ambassador will continue to merge.
