What a fantastic seminar it was! 🎉

The EATSA Webinar on Research Areas in Tourism and Peace took place on September 30th, 2024, at 1:00 PM IST / 10:30 CET.

🙏 We want to extend our deepest gratitude to our three keynote speakers—Dr. Aldi Di Russo, Prof. Dr. Venkata Rao, and Dr. Sergii Iaromenko—for their insightful and inspiring presentations. Today, we had the privilege of hearing thought-provoking ideas on the intersection between tourism and peace.

Key Takeaways:
🗣️ From Dr. Aldo Di Russo:
– Beauty, knowledge, and freedom require effort.
– The word ‘together’ is fundamental to both culture and research.
– We must have the courage to correct ourselves repeatedly to avoid the traps of identity and ignorance.

🗣️ From Prof. Dr. Venka Rao:
– Research on tourism is expanding rapidly.
– Understanding the nature of conflicts is crucial to learning how to prevent them.
– Research on sustainable goals directly connects with peace and tourism.

🗣️ From Dr. Sergii Iaromenko:
– War can never suppress culture, life, or free thinking.
– Culture and tourism need to be prioritized in post-conflict recovery efforts.

🙏 We also want to thank all the participants and discussants for their valuable contributions during the event.

🙏 A special thanks goes to Dr Madhuri Sawant for organizing this remarkable webinar!

EATSA holds a unique position in discussing peace and tourism, bridging Europe and Asia—two continents united through scientific understanding. As highlighted in our mission, we aim to foster dialogue among scholars across various disciplines engaged in tourism research.

Let’s continue to travel and conduct research responsibly, seeking opportunities to promote mutual respect, understanding, and deeper cultural exchange through academic dialogue.

🙏 Thank you for being a part of EATSA today, and we wish everyone a wonderful World Tourism Year! 🌏✨
