Establishing Industry-Based Strategies to Mitigate Country and Geopolitical Risks, and to Promote Peace through Tourism

Supervisor

Dr Ghialy Yap

Abstract

The proposed industry-based research aims to promote global sustainability in geopolitical-and-economic stabilities and peace-and-prosperity for tourism dependent countries. The concept of tourism-peace nexus was started by D’Amore (1988), quoted that “Tourism has the promise of becoming the world’s first Peace Industry, an industry which recognises, promotes and supports the belief that every traveler is potentially an ambassador for peace.” (p. 40). Based on this idea, we are determined that it is possible for tourism stakeholders to cooperate without political influences and prejudices, and plan strategies to promote tourism and peace.
