- [Volume 50](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-50/) - The future of tourism in Brazil through a critical analysis of the period 2000-2019 O Futuro do turismo no Brasil a partir da análise crítica do período 2000-2019 The panel provides a perspective on tourism in Brazil, analyzing the main developments focusing on the period 2000-2019. Tourism related topics covered in this panel include economics, politics and planning, marketing, transportation, environment, gastronomy, hospitality, leisure, among others. As the main conclusion, it is argued that Brazil has not managed to position itself as an internationally renowned destination. The efforts in the 1990s to support the development of regional tourism have had only moderate success. Economic crises, political instability, violence and corruption were obstacles that considerably affected the tourism sector. The panel is based on this paper: Lohmann, G. et. al. Tourism in Brazil: from politics, social inequality, corruption and violence towards the 2030 Brazilian tourism agenda. Tourism Review (St. Gallen), 2021.
- [Volume 49](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-49/) - Your Destination, My Hometown: Community Well-being in Tourism The webinar discusses the impact of tourism on local communities. Guest speakers from the public sector, community groups and scholars from Macao and Mainland China will share their perspectives and experiences on how responsible development of tourism can bring prosperity to local communities while unmanaged growth may lead to social, environmental and economic consequences that residents have to live with long after the tourists are gone. Creating a dialogue between residents and visitors, and helping them understand their roles in promoting community well-being is fundamental in achieving sustainability for the destination. A special community project conducted in Azheke, Yunnan Province, China with pro-poor initiatives will be introduced. It illustrates how proper and inclusive tourism development has brought economic and social benefits to a local community and empowered the villagers to pursue growth while preserving their culture, heritage and environment.
- [Satellite V 19](https://scotwebinars.org/events/satellite-v-19/) - Territory Heritage - a potential to a sustainable tourism development
- [Volume 79](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-79/) - Developing rural tourism experiences This webinar discusses examples of the development of rural tourism experiences in countries as diverse as Egypt, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Timor Leste. It examines activities such as multi-day walking tours, self-guided village tours, training of tour guides and how these can benefit local communities. These types of experiences can be a useful entry point for a rural community that wants to develop tourism. They require less up-front investment and training, while allowing visitors to learn about local culture and scenic attractions. These types of experiences lie at the boundary of the usual definitions of rural, community-based, soft adventure, hiking and ecotourism. Based on the presentations, the webinar panel will discuss the practical usefulness of these experiences as well as how they represent a blurring of traditional product descriptors.
- [Volume 80](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-80/) - Beyond Metrics: Rethinking Sustainability Indicators for Tourism Destinations How do we measure tourism sustainability in ways that are practical, meaningful, and responsive to the realities of each destination? Although many sustainability indicator frameworks have been developed, their application often remains challenging. Destinations frequently struggle with limited data, overreliance on generic measures, and poor alignment between indicator systems and local contexts. This webinar will explore these key challenges while highlighting emerging opportunities to design more relevant, place-based, and actionable indicators. Bringing together academic insight and practical perspectives, the session will encourage critical discussion on how destination sustainability can be measured more effectively to support informed decision-making and long-term positive outcomes.
- [Volume 78](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-78/) - Managing Seasonality in Small Island Destinations Seasonality is a critical challenge for small island destinations, causing significant fluctuations in tourism demand that affect economic, social, and environmental systems. Peak seasons often generate overtourism, straining infrastructure, resources, and service quality, while off-seasons result in business closures, revenue loss, and employment instability. These cycles hinder financial planning and sustainability efforts, as fixed costs persist amid declining income. This webinar examines the concept, typology, and misconceptions of seasonality, with Prof. Dimitris Koutoulas providing the introduction.

- [Volume 57](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-57/) - The art of storytelling is inextricably linked with tourism development and management. Significantly, every place or destination tells its own story. Storytellers make space into place and places into stories. Tourism research focuses on tourists’ stories to understand their experiences, and this is highly important in the digital age built on social media, immersive technologies, AI, User-generated content, and conversational marketing supported by Web 2.0. Nonetheless, this modernity has also leveraged the capacity of destination brands to make promotional videos embedding the principles of storytelling. Following a short presentation on the narratological analysis of six promotional videos to deconstruct the art of brand storytelling by destinations, the panel will focus on the link between tourism and storytelling and how the latter helps destination brands promote transnational tourism.
- [Volume 56](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-56/) - Natural resource management is essential work for sustaining livelihoods. Local communities build social capital and traditional knowledge by living in harmony with nature and managing their environment. This webinar discusses the current situation of forests in Japan and Australia with emphasis on risk and disaster management. Yakihata is a traditional way of burning grass in the Japanese Satoyama mountains that has been practiced for many years all over Japan and is similar to fuel reduction burning systems in Australia. In the case of Japan, Yakihata practice is not continuing in many places due to depopulation and aging populations in rural areas and this results in increasing fire risk. In the case of Australia, lifestyle rural settlements and a very dry climate in the summer complicate the control of forest (‘Bush’) fires. This webinar discusses ways to support local initiatives to build collaboration and knowledge transfer on disaster prevention and creating safer destinations for nature based tourism in the fire season. デスティネーションマネジメント 防災及びコミュニティレジリエンシー 自然資源の管理は、生活を維持するために不可欠な作業です。地域コミュニティは、自然と共生し、環境を管理することで、社会資本と伝統的な知識を築いています。本ウェビナーでは、日本とオーストラリアの森林の現状について、リスクと災害管理に重点を置いて議論します。焼畑は日本の里山で古くから行われてきた伝統的な草焼きであり、オーストラリアのフューエルリダクションバーニングシステム(火災を制御するための焼畑)と類似しています。日本の場合、農村部の過疎化と高齢化により、各地で焼畑が行われなくなり、その結果、火災リスクが高まっています。また、オーストラリアの場合、農村部の生活様式や夏場の非常に乾燥した気候が、森林（ブッシュ）火災の制御を複雑にしています。本ウェビナーでは、火災の季節にネイチャーベースドツーリズムのための防災やより安全な観光地を確立するための協力体制や知識の伝達を構築するために、地域の取り組みを支援する方法について議論します。

- [Volume 51](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-51/) - Localising Tourism: Centring local communities in tourism futures Local communities are the backbone of fair and sustainable tourism. Learning from the experience of the global pandemic, with its border closures and lockdowns, Higgins-Desbiolles and Bigby described a “local turn in tourism”. This “turn” offers multiple possibilities for localising tourism: defining tourism by the local community, local community empowerment, more localised geographies of travel and tourism, localising decision-making to the lowest level (subsidiarity) and the local interrelationships between people, place, ecology and all living things. This panel convenes Australia-based researchers that contributed chapters to the Channel View edited volume The Local Turn in Tourism. In this panel discussion, they will consider case studies of the local turn, consider the possibilities and test the limits of “localising” tourism. They will consider the argument that a localising agenda is essential to ensure long-term sustainability, equity and justice. This discussion may test the argument that: “The place where tourism occurs is not a tourism destination; it is the local community’s home, their standing place, a place of uncompromisable value” (Higgins-Desbiolles, Doering and Bigby, 2022: 14).

- [Volume 35](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-35/) - Glocalızatıon of the Tourısm Industry The tourism industry of today is shaped by Anglo-Western world, a trend which has suppressed the distinctiveness of local peoples and destinations. The host cultures, languages, and practices are often silenced, with diversity and creativity discouraged. This globalization process is driven mainly by the formal sector in tourism, but about 60% of hospitality/tourism businesses are in the informal sector. Without recognizing their resources and involvement in tourism, how can the national importance and function of the industry be assessed? How can tourism provide authentic experiences in this globalized industry? How can tourism continue playing its peacemaking role in our global village? Having this in mind, further to our former webinar in Turkish (see Volume 19 – SCOT Webinars), we have decided to host another panel on the glocalization of tourism in English to reach the wider international community. This webinar discusses the ambivalence of locality/informality in the tourism industry and suggests the way forward.
- [Volume 1](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-1/) - Resilience and Recovery of Tourism Communities Recent webinars have paid limited attention to CoronaVirus problems of small/remote communities depending on tourism. Simply put, without tourism these destinations cannot feed themselves.This webinar identifies problems of such neglected host communities and suggests how their micro tourism operators can regain the lost business and actually start doing better after the CoronaVirus situation is resolved.
- [Volume 2](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-2/) - Actions of Small Destinations to Restore Tourism, Lessons from Beppu, Japan Tourism-dependent communities and small businesses around the world have been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic due to the fast and almost absolute decline in travel, and many are now gradually exploring paths towards recovery. In several cases, recovery strategies have focused on embracing domestic tourism, and on creating practices and conditions that minimise the potential of infection among visitors and tourism workers. Beppu city, in Japan, is a popular hot springs destination in which the community has been deeply involved in tourism planning to ensure competitiveness and sustainable local benefits. Two speakers representing local tourism business and government will explain problems and prospects from a community’s point of view. International webinar participants, also benefiting from the panel discussion and questions from the audience, will find applications of Beppu’s strategies in their respective communities/countries.
- [Volume 3](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-3/) - Small business recovery amid covid-19, Lessons from the Caribbean Covid-19 is an utterly black swan event. It attacked by surprise the tourism industry at its heart: accessibility and social interaction. By restricting both, the global tourism industry came screeching to a standstill. The after-effects were deleterious. Nowhere were these effects more damaging than in small islands. Most of them depend on tourism, and their economies has taken a significant hit from curtailed tourism. Curtailing it has been lethal to many small businesses. Small businesses are the hallmark of the small island tourism ecosystem in the Caribbean. They are the source of jobs, incomes, and opportunities for thousands of people. They are the tourism soul of the islands. While they have weathered many storms, their resourcefulness has never been severely challenged by the current pandemic. How small businesses cope with the pandemic and how they navigate these uncharted waters have become the road to survival for many such islands. This webinar sheds light on the efforts and recovery strategies of small businesses in the Caribbean during this pandemic. Its focus is to discuss and distill elements from a small business practice that suggest survival and recovery in this brave new world.
- [Volume 4](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-4/) - Prospects for hosting global service learning programs Small under-resourced communities are often involved in the provision of accommodation services and cultural experiences to groups of students from international institutions. These host communities become invaluable field partners that help institutions nurture the global citizenship of their students through volunteer work on local improvement projects, homestays with families, and involvement in communal cultural activities. In many cases, hosting these groups may represent a dominant portion of a small community’s business. Therefore, there is a dire need to stimulate dialogue between small tourism communities and their institutional clients to manage mutual expectations and mitigate disruptions caused by the COVID19 pandemic. In this webinar, two Latin American tourism microentrepreneurs will explain how their communities benefit from hosting global service learning groups, they will relate the impact of COVID19 on their tourism livelihoods, and will discuss their hopes and concerns about programs scheduled for 2021. Three American global service learning professionals will react to those presentations, sharing their insights into the best practices in their field during this pandemic.
- [Volume 5](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-5/) - COVID-19 pandemic and recovery strategies of tourism SMEs: Perspectives on Iran The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 has triggered an unprecedented crisis in the global tourism economy due to the severe travel restrictions as well as substantial slump in demand among travellers. Many tourism SMEs have been heavily impacted by this pandemic and are now facing significant declines in revenue. This is especially significant as SMEs are particularly at much higher risk from prolonged COVID-19 lockdown measures, and account for around 75% of all jobs in directly affected sectors. Like many other destinations, Iran has also experienced severe economic impacts from far-reaching consequences of COVID-19 pandemic. The impacts of this outbreak are particularly significant in Iran as many of affected small businesses and self-employed people are those whose livelihood depend upon tourism as a vehicle to spur their development and economic inclusion. Thus, responses are needed at local, national and global level to limit the direct effects of COVID-19 and to help the affected societies and communities return to growth and stability. This webinar sheds light on the recovery strategies of SMEs in Iran and discusses the policy responses and resilience mechanisms required to combat this crisis for SMEs.
- [Volume 6](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-6/) - Women in Small Communities Tourism Covid-19 has exacerbated the multiple challenges faced by women in small tourism firms (STF). It is recognised that the tourism sector provides women with employment and entrepreneurial opportunities, both vital for their economic and social independence. For women entrepreneurs, their STFs also act as platforms for the promotion of local development and social transformation, and enables them to create ‘new’ self-identities. In this webinar, two African women tourism micro entrepreneurs explain their journeys and how this has transformed them and others. They discuss the impact of COVID-19 on their businesses and the strategies they have adopted to overcome its challenges in resource-scarce environments. Two tourism industry experts from academia and industry respond to those presentations, sharing their insights into lessons being learnt and best practices during this pandemic and beyond.
- [Volume 7](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-7/) - Development of Resilience and Leadership in Small Communities Because the CoVID19 pandemic has dramatically reduced the volume of travel worldwide, small communities that formerly had income from tourism have no choice but to function—do business and provide services— differently. This webinar shares new community-based accomplishments in nurturing tourism business conduct, resilience, confidence and codependency, emotional intelligence, and community empowerment to proactively succeed during the current hard times and in the years ahead. Our panel of experts will focus on tourism and healthcare businesses in small communities. The panelists will discuss the evidence-based guidance that they provide to diverse small communities, each with its own mix of micro-entrepreneurs and businesses. The discussion will result in practical operational and management recommendations. Their responses to questions from webinar participants will further shed light on the effective implementation of community-based strategies for recovery.
- [Volume 8](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-8/) - Special edition in Portuguese: O paper das redes microempresariais Os microempreendedores turísticos, pela natureza do seu pequeno tamanho e escassos recursos, sentem dificuldades para que os seus interesses sejam considerados pelos líderes das suas comunidades e por possíveis parceiros comerciais no setor. Apesar do facto que as experiências e serviços que prestam aos turistas fazem destinos mais genuínos e competitivos, a elevada competitividade do mercado põe-lhes dificuldades em penetrar o mercado. Por estas razões, microempreendedores beneficiam muito de redes microempresariais que representam os seus membros em processos de política e planeamento dos destinos, e que coordenam esforços de marketing associativo. O objetivo deste webinar é dar visibilidade ao papel crítico das redes microempresariais em ajudar os seus membros a lidar com e pivotar em resposta às novas demandas da pandemia COVID-19. Este webinário vai começar com breves apresentações de dois microempresários, relatando as formas como as redes microempresariais melhoraram sua resiliência. Essas apresentações então servir de estímulo para pesquisar as percepções de um grupo de líderes na indústria, governo e academia.Microentrepreneurs, by the nature of their small size and scarce resources, tend to struggle to get their interests heard by community and industry leaders and to get noticed by the market. As a result they tend to benefit greatly from business networks that pursue associative marketing and collective bargaining. The purpose of this webinar is to bring visibility to the critical role of microentrepreneurial networks in helping their members cope with and pivot in response to the changing demands of the COVID-19 pandemic. The webinar will begin with brief presentations by two microentrepreneurs relating the ways in which business networks have improved their resilience. These presentations will then serve as stimuli to poll the insights of a select group of industry, government and academia leaders.
- [Volume 9](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-9/) - Climate Friendly Travel: Case for small communities and entrepreneurs Recently UN Secretary General Guterres noted the importance of tourism in a post COVID-19 socioeconomic recovery. Calling for “Climate Friendly Travel” as a response to the existential Climate Crisis. SUNx Malta is working, to deliver “Climate Friendly Travel” with the support of the government of Malta, and WTTC – low carbon: SDG linked: Paris 1.5. We created two Climate Friendly Travel tools to support transformation – a Registry of 2050 Ambitions and a Climate Champions Diploma, to train tomorrows leaders. We will discuss how small and medium stakeholders can benefit from these programs.

- [Volume 11](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-11/) - Small community tourism development in Sri Lanka Tourism in Sri Lanka has grown strongly over the past several years. The country received 1.9 million tourists in 2019. The established tourism sector is based around sun and sand, wildlife and ancient culture and growth has placed stress on national parks and more well-developed attractions. Further, opportunities to meet local people and learn their culture are limited. The Government of Sri Lanka is developing its tourism sector to encourage new forms of tourism and to ensure the benefits of visitor expenditure are received in less developed areas and by smaller communities. This webinar will discuss a number of projects targeting development of tourism in small communities in Sri Lanka.
- [Volume 12](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-12/) - Branding Small Communities Using International Certifications The title of this presentation is “Branding small communities using international certifications”. Japanese small communities are struggling with declining and aging population. In rural areas, the average age of farmers are over 65 years old and many of them do not have successors. Thus, uncultivated farmland and vacant houses are increasing that result in destruction of the landscape. In metropolitan areas, the declining and aging population also occurs. Therefore, revitalization of small communities is an important issue in Japan. Branding communities is one of the ways to revitalize communities and many communities in Japan try to improve their brand images using international certifications. In this presentation, we look at Japanese communities that try to improve their brand images using UNESCO’s World Heritage and FAO’s Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems.This event has an English/Japanese interpretation.
- [Volume 14](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-14/) - El turismo rural en Iberoamérica ante la pandemia del COVID-19 El turismo rural ha sido una de las modalidades de turismo más beneficiadas en Europa durante el pasado verano, pero también en muchos lugares de Iberoamérica. Los espacios rurales, en su diversidad, se han convertido en lugares refugio, de escape y recuperación de las energías vitales después de duros confinamientos en viviendas de los aglomerados urbanos, y en contacto próximo con la naturaleza. Es importante saber cuáles han sido y están siendo los efectos de esta nueva demanda de turismo rural desde perspectivas iberoamericanas, tanto sobre las comunidades locales receptoras como sobre los visitantes, y cuáles son los desafíos para el futuro. Durante el seminario online pretendemos dialogar con algunos académicos especialistas en turismo rural en Iberoamérica, y traer algunas experiencias empresariales que nos aporten la experiencia del promotor del turismo rural, sabiendo que hay una gran diversidad de turismo(s) rural, pero que presentan igualmente problemáticas equivalentes, que son importantes para este debate. El seminario tendrá una duración de 90 minutos.

- [Volume 16](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-16/) - Smart community tourism development in Indonesia Tourism in Indonesia has grown strongly over the past several years. The established tourism sector is based around sun and sand, nature and culture and growth has placed stress on more well-developed attractions. Further, opportunities to meet local people and learn their culture are limited. The Government of Indonesia is developing its tourism sector to encourage new forms of tourism and to ensure the benefits of tourism expenditure are received in less developed areas and by smaller communities. This webinar will discuss a number of projects targeting development of tourism in small communities in Indonesia.
- [Volume 17](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-17/) - SMEs and tourism education in the Middle East Tourism’s ability to create job opportunities for entrepreneurs with limited capital is one of its many advantages, as small- and medium-size enterprises form an essential pillar of the tourism industry, especially in areas such as catering and souvenir businesses. In this regard, despite the Middle East’s limited share of international tourist arrivals, which did not exceed 50 million tourists in 2019, the region achieved the highest rates of tourism growth (8% compared to 5% globally). However, Middle East is a region where tourism is important as a job-creator sector, given the immensity of unemployment in many countries in the region. This webinar, benefitting from academic and business perspectives, discussses the relationship between tourism education and small/medium-size enterprises, and the ability of education institutions to respond to their needs. المشروعات الصغيرة والمتوسطة والتعليم السياحي في الشرق الأوسط يعتبر قطاع السياحة أحد القطاعات الرئيسية على مستوى العالم، حيث أصبح أحد المجالات التي توليها الغالبية من دول العالم اهتماما خاصا. وفي الوقت الذي تتجه معظم الأنظار نحو قطاع السياحة باعتباره رافد أساسي لاقتصاديات كثير من الدول سواء النامية منها أو المتقدمة، إلا أن العديد من الخبراء يرى أن أهمية السياحة لا تتوقف عند تأثيراته الاقتصادية المباشرة فقط، بل تمتد لتشمل أهميات أخرى عديدة.ولعل أحد أبرز الخصائص الهامة لقطاع السياحة هو قدرته على توفير فرص العمل للعديد من فئات المجتمع سواء منها الماهرة أو غير الماهرة، المتخصصة في مجال السياحة وغير المتخصصة، حيث أبرزت منظمة السياحة العالمية بالأمم المتحدة في مناسبات عديدة أن السياحة تساهم بما يزيد عن 9% من الوظائف على مستوى العالم. وتعتبر قدره السياحة على خلق فرص عمل لأصحاب رؤوس الأموال المحدودة ميزة أخرى لهذا القطاع الهام، حيث تعتبر المشروعات الصغيرة والمتوسطة ركيزة أساسية لأي نشاط سياحي خاصة في مجالات مثل الإعاشة وبيع التذكارات.من جهة أخرى تحظى منطقة الشرق الأوسط بمكانة خاصة في السياحة العالمية، فعلى الرغم من نصيب المنطقة المحدود من الحركة العالمية والذي لم يتجاوز حاجز 50 مليون سائح في عام 2019، إلا أنها في الوقت ذاته حققت أعلى معدلات للنمو السياحي والتي وصلت إلى 8% مقارناً ب 5% كمتوسط عالمي عام 2019 وهو ما يشير لقدرة المنطقة على التوسع والنمو السياحي. وتعد منطقة الشرق الأوسط أحد المناطق التي تبرز فيها أهمية السياحة كقطاع صانع للوظائف بالنظر لحجم البطالة في العديد من دول المنطقة. من هنا تأتي أهمية هذا الملتقى والذي يسعى للتركيز على علاقة التعليم السياحي بالمشروعات الصغيرة والمتوسطة ومدى قدرة مؤسسات التعليم السياحي على دعم التوجه نحو تشجيع مثل تلك المشاريع.

- [Volume 18](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-18/) - SUSTAINABLE STAYCATIONS FOR SMALL COMMUNITY DESTINATIONS Staycations is a term used to refer to the practice of taking a holiday or vacation close to home. It is a form of domestic tourism where the tourists stay within or close to their home destination region. Prior to the COVID 19 pandemic, concerns over the sustainability of tourism as a global socio-economic activity prompted calls for staycations to be embraced as a form of tourism that could be more sustainable, especially for small communities. The COVID 19 pandemic has meant that in many countries staycations are the only form of holiday available or likely to be available for the next several years. For tourism researchers this has been an under-researched area lacking the appeal of exploring global patterns and destinations. For tourism practitioners staycations can be challenging. Staycations require changes to promotional campaigns. Staycations may not support all the existing tourism businesses as local residents may not see the need to participate in tours, packages and experiences that were previously designed for outsiders. Staycations could be particularly challenging for small communities highly dependent on international tourism and/or who do not have local populations with the affluence and freedom to travel at all. This webinar seeks to explore these challenges, identify further challenges and offer some solutions and future directions for small communities seeking to develop their staycation potential.
- [Volume 20](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-20/) - Domestic Tourism in Asia: Restart and Long-term Strategies With COVID-19 vaccination becoming available worldwide, the light at the end of this tunnel is getting stronger. The tourism industry has started tuning up its production engines, preparing for better days ahead. But for how long can tourism business be held at its present stand-still position? Can the bouncing back of domestic tourism become a quick fix for the inbound tourism crisis? Should a more balanced strategy be advocated in the post-pandemic time? In the past, tourism activities were divided into inbound, outbound, and domestic tourism. The COVID19 pandemic has given rise to new prospects, with domestic tourism as the one to take the lead. This panel discussion will establish that the earlier view on domestic tourism under represented its true popularity and magnitude; offer insight on domestic tourism as an effective tool for recovery; and suggest policies to boost domestic tourism as a long term national and international strategy, with audience adding their views during the Q/A period.
- [Volume 21](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-21/) - Dimensión sociocultural de la sostenibilidad en Latinoamérica: avances y desafíos Con su extraordinaria riqueza natural y cultural, Latinoamérica sigue padeciendo severas condiciones de pobreza. De acuerdo con la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe de la ONU, en 2019 el 30.5% de la población latinoamericana vive en condiciones de pobreza y esta proporción aumenta hasta el 45.9% en las zonas rurales. Dada la dotación de recursos y el sostenido crecimiento de la demanda turística mundial, el turismo tiene el potencial para contribuir de manera más relevante al desarrollo sostenible de las sociedades latinoamericanas. Los panelistas, expertos de la región, debatirán sobre el papel del turismo en el impulso a mejorar las condiciones de vida de las poblaciones de los habitantes en las comunidades receptoras de turistas. Social Dimension of Sustainability in Latin America: Advances and Challenges Latin America with its extraordinary natural and cultural wealth suffers from severe conditions of poverty. According to the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, in 2019, 30.5% of the population lived in conditions of poverty, and this proportion had increased to 45.9% in rural areas. Given the endowment of resources and the sustained growth of world tourism demand, this industry has the potential to contribute not only to the development of Latin American societies but also to make tourism sustainable and rewarding in this region. The panelists of this webinar will examine the living conditions in this region and will suggest organic ways that tourism can contribute to the wellbeing of the host communities.

In particular, food tourism experiences draw heavily on a place’s social and natural resources which provide the foundations from which visitors can taste the foodscapes attached to a unique land and, at the same time, foster both self and community wellbeing. The webinar would include stories of places where food tourism has worked to the advantage of the host community and its visitors.
- [Satellite V 4](https://scotwebinars.org/events/s-v-4/) - بازاریابی گردشگری با استراتژی و خط مشی جدید صنعت گردشگری در دوره پسا کرونا به کدام سو خواهد رفت؟ این سوالی است که ذهن بسیاری از فعالان گردشگری را به خود مشغول کرده. علیرغم تمامی تاثیرات منفی همه‌گیری، این دوران دشوار فرصتی را برای بازنگری در حوزه گردشگری فراهم نموده است. بسیاری از مقاصد با استفاده از این فرصت به شناسایی نقات ضعف و قوت پرداخته تا خود را از نو بسازند. حال با انجام واکسیناسیون، ارتقای ایمنی و کاهش محدودیت‌ها در برخی نقاط، این صنعت جانی دوباره گرفته است و بسیاری از مقاصد گردشگری به رقابت در جذب گردشگران می‌پردازند. هر چند باید توجه داشت که شرایط حاکم از زمان شیوع کرونا توام با شکاف میان ملت‌ها، دهکده جهانی را متزلزل کرده است. در شرایط کنونی جهانگردی می‌تواند نقش بسیار مهمی در ترویج صلح و آرامش با برقراری ارتباط بین اقوام، فرهنگها و کشورهای مختلف ایفا کند. لذا با بهره‌برداری از تجربیات جدید، این وبینار با نگاهی به توسعه پایدار به بررسی راهکارهای اجرایی برای توسعه و ارتقای جایگاه مقاصد گردشگری می پردازد New Marketing Strategies to Rebuild Tourism for the Future What trends are awaiting the tourism industry as the world gradually reopens its doors? This is a billion-dollar question asked by many. Destinations are using this lull in tourism to identify their strengths and weaknesses, with the intent of nesting a prosperous industry. But tourism, in addition to its economic strength, promotes movements among members of the global community presently distanced because of unfortunate Covid-19 and other political incongruities. Thus, in its full force, tourism has the capacity of promoting both peace and prosperity in our global village. Benefiting from recent international case studies and experiences, this webinar offers a roadmap—to rebuild a sustainable tourism industry for all.

- [Volume 27](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-27/) - Гастрономия как новый двигатель туризма на Шелковом пути в Центральной Азии Гастрономия представляет собой важный элемент местной культуры и самобытности, и в ней заложен существенный потенциал для усиления туристского предложения дестинаций Шелкового пути. На примере трех дестинаций Шелкового пути – Кыргызстана, Таджикистана и Узбекистана, этот вебинар рассмотрит развитие гастротуризма в регионе Центральной Азии, его достижения и вызовы. Он также рассмотрит, что нужно сделать, чтобы богатое гастрономическое наследие региона Шелкового пути стало драйвером для восстановления ответственного и устойчивого туризма после Covid-19 в интересах местных сообществ и путешественников. Gastronomy as a new Driver of Tourism along the Silk Road in Central Asia Food is an important element of local culture and identity and has significant potential to enhance the attraction of Silk Road destinations. Using the example of three destinations – Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, this webinar will examine the development of gastronomic tourism in the Central Asian region, its achievements and challenges. It will also consider what needs to be done to ensure that the Silk Road region’s rich gastronomic heritage is a driver for the recovery of responsible and sustainable tourism after Covid-19, for the benefit of local communities and travelers.
- [Volume 28](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-28/) - QUALITY OF LIFEWellbeing of the Host Community This webinar discusses the quality of life (QOL) – wellbeing research and applications from the perspective of residents of host communities. Although their perspective of tourism development and its impact on QOL has received some attention, there is relatively limited research that sheds light on impacts of tourism development on QOL . The scope and range of issues suggest that the topic is multidimensional, highly complex, and poses community challenges. The panelist seek to explore what the nature of the reciprocal link between tourism development and QOL is and offers practical solutions, guidelines, and future directions for communities seeking to further develop their tourism potential or sustain their tourism activities without impinging on the QOL of their stakeholders.
- [Volume 29](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-29/) - WOMEN IN TOURISM EXPLORING CHALLENGES AND EMERGING OPPORTUNITIES Women contribute 54% of the tourism workforce internationally. Despite this, however, they still face challenges in terms of bridging gender-based wage gaps, breaking gender stereotypes, and increasing their role in management in their communities. Given this backdrop, this panel discussion aims to answer questions such as “What is the role of women in promoting sustainable tourism in small communities? What are the challenges they face? What are the opportunities for them to be empowered through tourism?” In further exploring the role of women in pursuing the sustainability of tourism, this webinar aims to explore the issues, challenges, and opportunities faced by them in the industry. The sustainability of tourism in fact depends on boosting the social status of women and the role that they play in decision-making and livelihood planning in their communities and this industry.
- [Volume 30](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-30/) - Dark skies can brighten community futures Rural communities are characterized by low population density and the absence of infrastructure that causes light pollution which makes them suited for astrotourism, a sector that enjoyed exponential growth during the COVID19 pandemic. However, astrotourism can be yet another mechanism for industry oligopolies to colonize economically depressed rural areas under the guise of sustainable tourism. Consequently, the purpose of this webinar is to highlight how smart communities around the world have attempted to develop astrotourism in their own terms to seek endogenous community development and equitable and sustainable prosperity. This webinar includes academic and industry presentations about strategies that can assist communities in a path towards self-determined recovery.

- [Volume 31](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-31/) - Current and future issues of tourism in the Arab region The Arab region has always been a worldwide destination for tourism since ancient civilizations. Destinations such as Egypt, Iraq, and Palestine have received international visitors for thousands of years now. However, over the last few decades, thoughts about Arab tourism have been – to some extent – unclear, whether we are talking about the Arab region as a tourism destination or Arab tourists visiting international destinations. This webinar is trying to shed more light on Arab tourism from a local perspective.

- [Volume 32](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-32/) - RECIPROCAL ALTRUISM AND TOURISM Cooperation and Trust (or not) in Guest-host Interactions Cooperation has long been a topic of interest in tourism studies research in regional development, alliance, and marketing contexts based on social science approaches. However, evolution and natural selection offer a much different perspective. This webinar explores the dimensions of the evolutionary theory of reciprocal altruism, particularly why we are altruistic towards others and how cooperation and trust emerge between people over time—or not. The nature of tourism, i.e., limited interactions based on restricted periods of time, stands in the way of cooperation with implications at several scales. Here, we explore reciprocal altruism through themes such as volunteer tourism and protected areas to understand tourism impacts. This perspective offers a far deeper explanation of human nature tied to tourism that is largely missing in the literature.
- [Volume 33](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-33/) - END OF EXCESSIVE TOURISM? Perspectives on Sustainability of (mass)Tourism Mobility has been challenged by Covid-19, transportation systems paralyzed, and international border closed—with carefree travel in a distance. Since past “excess” in tourism is subjected to criticism and because post-pandemic tourists would be stressed by crowds, destinations have no choice but to rethink their futures. Tourism needs to be directed by novel steering systems. With sustainability taken seriously and existing business models considered ineffective, feedback is needed to guide development of tourism experience. This webinar discusses whether some of the “old normal” practices can return, whether new and more sustainable forms of (mass)tourism—coupled with resiliency and guided by transformational forces—can be nested in small and large-scale destinations. The discussion will be complemented with Q/A exchanges between panelists and participants.
- [Satellite V 9](https://scotwebinars.org/events/s-v9/) - I want to see faces, not just places: hospitality in action Hospitableness, host sincerity and friendliness of locals are recognized by many international travelers as comprising a major determinant of better tourism experiences. Hospitableness is a societal trait in almost all countries but is valued more in some destinations since it is embedded in their cultures—in which people conceive hospitality as a normative value system that underlies social practices. This webinar unveils the potentials of hospitable cultural traits as intangible assets for tourism development via different examples. The panel will discuss how the host community can bring outrooted colors of hospitality whereby ordinary locals “dish out” hospitableness in a more “localized” manner. Join us especially if you have missed pleasant human interaction and unique travel experiences during the recent pandemic. خواهد که رخت بیند، هر چند سرا نیک است: مهمان نوازی در طبق اخلاص نزد بسیاری از مسافران بین المللی، مهمان دوستی، صمیمیت، و رفتار دوستانه جامعه میزبان عنصری محوری در ارتقای تجربه سفرهایشان محسوب می شود. مهمان دوستی از خصلت های اجتماعی همه کشورها است. در عین حال، در برخی مقاصد گردشگری، مهمان دوستی در فرهنگ جامعه نهادینه است و پسندیده تر انگاشته می شود. در چنین جوامعی، مهمان نوازی زیربنای تعاملات اجتماعی و حایز جنبه های ارزشی و هنجاری است. وبینار پیش رو، ضمن ارایه نمونه های مختلف، از پتانسیل ویژگی های فرهنگی مهمان دوستانه به مثابه سرمایه ناملموس توسعه گردشگری پرده بر می دارد. اعضای پانل به ابعاد مغفول مهمان نوازی در صنعت گردشگری می پردازند و همچنین راهکارهایی برای برانگیختن مهمان دوستی عرضه می کنند. این راهکارها محلی هستند و از منظر فرهنگی مورد بحث قرار می گیرند. از شما دعوت می کنیم در این وبینار به ما بپیوندید و در بحث ها شرکت کنید، به خصوص اگر در این دوره بحران همه گیر دلتان برای تعاملات انسانی دلپذیر و تجارب منحصر به فرد سفر تنگ شده است.
- [Volume 34](https://scotwebinars.org/events/volume-34/) - Tourism gig economy in small communities New forms of temporary, hyper-flexible, employment (i.e., gigs) have become prevalent in many economic sectors. Tourism is at the forefront of this trend with prominent web platforms such as Uber, Airbnb, and ToursByLocals disrupting formal retail monopolies. Advocates highlight the freedom and flexibility afforded by the gig economy, and detractors stress the precarious and undignified character of gig livelihoods. Rural communities have a dire need for innovative livelihood strategies, especially with the onset of COVID19, but implications of the gig economy in small rural host communities remain under-examined. Consequently, this webinar highlights how web platforms, microentrepreneurs and communities are adapting to rapid changes in the tourism gig economy in their interconnected journey towards recovery.
