QS, Prince of Songkla University and Taylor’s University are organizing the upcoming QS Subject Focus Summit Hospitality and Leisure Management under the theme “Sustainable and Resilient Solutions in Tourism Today” from 5-7 October 2021.
Hospitality and the tourism industry can be especially vulnerable to disruption, whether through changes to consumer preferences or global challenges. Any hurdle, regardless of size, can have a significant impact and events such as global pandemics, strikes, natural disasters and climate change are affecting how service providers operate.
Themed Sustainable and Resilient Solutions in Tourism Today, the QS Subject Focus Summit Hospitality and Leisure Management explores events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and looks at what lessons can be learnt. The summit brings together experts and leaders in hospitality and academia to discuss the future of hospitality and the tourism industry and how sustainable models should be implemented.
