Webinar Description
The stereotyping of Muslim women as a subordinate group has resulted in widespread discrimination and gendered Islamophobia. This webinar addresses the challenges faced by Muslim women in the tourism industry, both as tourists and professionals. Through personal stories and expert insights, the webinar will discuss the impact of discrimination and gender bias in workplaces and when traveling; strategies to overcome access, visibility, and participation challenges and to create a more inclusive empowerment environment; how Muslim women themselves can advocate for inclusivity within the tourism industry; and types of proactive steps the tourism industry can take to ensure that Muslim Women’s needs and identities are acknowledged and respected.

Webinar Global Time
Backpacker tourism has significant impacts on marginalized communities. Many studies report backpackers’ unsustainable behaviors worldwide in local and regional areas. To overcome this deteriorating situation, this webinar focuses on how tourism stakeholders can create an enabling environment that promotes the intentional behaviors of backpackers, harnessing their sustainability for the benefit of regional communities in Asia, Africa, and the Pacific. The webinar will incorporate insights from a seasoned sustainability consultant and scholars, presenting context-relevant and practical strategies that promote a sustainable lifestyle among backpackers for community development. Inspired by Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12.A, the primary objective is to create an "enabler" toolkit, a "sustainabler", designed to empower these travelers to act deliberately by promoting regional cultures, products, and job opportunities.
