Past conferences

The Department of Geography and Resource Management (GRMD) of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is hosting the 10th International Conference on Sustainable Tourism on 20 May, 2022. This conference follows the well-established series of conferences on sustainable tourism held annually since 2012, supported by the Master of Social Science in Sustainable Tourism (MSSST) programme of GRMD, CUHK. The past conferences have centred around themes such as sustainable tourism development and practices, community and environmental resilience, global-local understanding, innovation in tourism, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and global crises. Bringing together brilliant minds across the globe, the conferences have successfully advanced academic conversations and facilitated collaborations among tourism researchers, practitioners and students.

The “Sustainable Tourism Development and Global Crises” in 2021 responded to the worldwide crisis in tourism development and industry caused by the COVID-19 pandemic over the past two years. The 2022 conference adopts the theme of “Sustainable Tourism for Inclusive Growth”, which echoes the focus of UNWTO’s World Tourism Day 2021: Tourism for Inclusive Growth. The conference aims to continue to reinforce the already established reunion of international, regional and local tourism academics including scholars, researchers, experts, practitioners and students to address the next move of sustainable tourism in recovery and development.
