A conference with or without presentations in a multicultural environment
Farewell dinner abroad a cruise
Introduction
The enormous increase in the number of disasters and crises affecting hospitality and tourism globally has highlighted the significance of resilience building in the industry. While tourism has been one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy in recent decades, it is likely to be one of the worst impacted during a crisis. Its profound decline due to travel restrictions to combat the COVID-19 outbreak has brought forth the importance of resilience.
In response to the growing significance of the resilience and sustainability of destinations, our second networking conference is focused on shaping the ‘Destination Resilience and Sustainable Tourism Development’, with an emphasis on the role of research and practice in generating constructive discussion designed to position this industry as agents for future sustainable development.
The Conference Committee welcomes papers and ideas on a wide range of topics. The conference brings together scholars, researchers, and professionals to stimulate discussions, exchange intelligence, and establish new international collaborations concerning but not limited to questions addressing the conference themes, which include:
· Destination Resilience and Sustainable Development
· Resilience issues due to crises and disasters
· Crisis management and resilience
· Sustainable tourism and the SDGs
· Pandemics and tourism recovery
· Tourism uncertainties, conflicts, sanctions, and peace
