Sustainable tourism holds immense potential to create meaningful change, driving long-term benefits for society, the economy, and the environment. This lunch forum brings together distinguished scholars and experts from diverse disciplines—architecture, geography, and tourism—to share their innovative projects and actionable insights.

The discussion will showcase compelling real-world impacts based on research, including green initiatives in hotels and projects revitalizing rural areas in both Hong Kong and Mainland China. These initiatives empower local communities, preserve cultural heritage, and foster sustainable income streams through tourism. Join us to explore how cross-disciplinary collaboration shapes a more sustainable and impactful future for tourism across the region.
