"If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants." - Isaac Newton 🌍 Stepping off the plane, the buzz of inspiration was palpable as I arrived at the International Conference on Responsible Tourism and Hospitality (ICRTH) 2024. What unfolded over the next few days was nothing short of transformative! 🔹 Knowledge Sharing: As the Chair of the seminar "Responsible Tourism in Rural Destinations: What We Can Learn from India," I had the unique opportunity to exchange breakthrough ideas with leading practitioners from ICRT India - 'Manisha Pande, Manoj K Singh & RUPESHKUMAR K Their innovative approaches captivated a diverse audience from 10 Southeast Asian nations, fostering a vibrant exchange of knowledge and experience. 🔹 Skill Enhancement: Presenting my research to an engaged audience brought valuable feedback and a chance to refine my perspective. The conference was a treasure trove of scholarly presentations and riveting stories from seasoned practitioners. 🔹 Wisdom Gaining: It was profoundly inspiring to be among the luminaries of tourism academia (Harold Goodwin; Hiram Ting 陳芳堯; Fergus Maclaren; Marianna Sigala; Jon Bruno; Joseph M. Cheer; Aaron Tham; Kevin Phun; Ramayah T. and dearest Lenny Y). Their approachability and simplicity in sharing deep insights reminded me why we gather: to learn, to grow, and to connect. Their positivity proved that true knowledge is always coupled with graciousness. 🌟 "Good things are meant to be shared." This gathering was a celebration of shared passion and mutual respect, encapsulating the spirit of responsible and sustainable tourism. 🔜 Eagerly anticipating the innovations and partnerships that will spark from ICRTH 2025! #ICRTH2024 #ResponsibleTourism #AcademicConference #SustainableTravel #ProfessionalGrowth #TourismIndustry
