February 3rd- 5th, 2025 in Thailand
Chiang Mai / Where Tradition Meets Tranquility
5th Global Symposium on Business and Social Sciences
As the pandemic restrictions ease, the tourism market is experiencing a retaliatory growth. According to the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), the number of international visitors to Japan in the first half of 2024 has increased by 11.6% compared to the same period in 2019, before the pandemic. Venice, the water city of Italy, sees an influx of 200,000 tourists daily.
While the influx of tourists can stimulate the economy, it also poses significant pressure on the environment. Faced with such issues, different countries have adopted various approaches. Italy has decided to pilot the collection of a "tourist tax" starting from 2024. Visitors entering the old city area are required to register online and pay €5. In Japan, both private and official sectors advocate for promoting ecotourism that respects local communities. They encourage a "short-term residency tour" (Staycation) model that emphasizes local planting, local cuisine, and experiencing local culture.
Balancing revenue generation and environmental pressure is an inevitable and crucial issue for businesses today. Therefore, this year's conference has designated "Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)" as the theme. Colleagues are welcomed to submit contributions related to these topics.
