and Universidade de Lisboa\u2019s Territur research group hosted on 24 November a seminar on ethics and tourism planning. The event took place at Pousada de Mong-H\u00e1, at IFT\u2019s Mong-H\u00e1 Campus.<\/p>\n<p>The seminar was attended by more than 20 scholars from, respectively, IFT, Territur, and Portugal\u2019s Estoril Higher Institute for Tourism and Hotel Studies. Territur is a research group on tourism, culture and planning and is part of the Centre of Geographical Studies at Universidade de Lisboa. The latter is also known as the University of Lisbon.<\/p>\n<p>The seminar covered topics including responsible tourism, ethics and social responsibility in tourism, and accessible and inclusive tourism.<\/p>\n<p>The Portuguese scholars attending the seminar were in Macao to participate in the National Congress of the Portuguese Association of Travel and Tourism Agencies, which took place at the Macau Tower Convention and Entertainment Centre from 23 to 27 November.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMacao is becoming a leader in tourism in this part of the world,\u201d says Portuguese scholar Dr. Jos\u00e9 Manuel Sim\u00f5es. \u201cSince we were coming to Macao, IFT was a partner we wanted to exchange experiences with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Sim\u00f5es heads Territur. He was part of a team that between 1993 and 1994 drafted a blueprint to build a satellite city in Macao\u2019s Cotai district. The area at the time was undeveloped. The plan \u2013 commissioned by the former Portuguese administration \u2013 was never implemented.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Sim\u00f5es says Portuguese cultural influences are a distinctive aspect of Macao, contributing to the competitiveness of the city\u2019s tourism industry. \u201cTourism needs to promote the authenticity of places,\u201d he states. \u201cWe need to innovate in tourism \u2013 and tourists want that \u2013 but by ensuring quality and preserving identity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Maria do C\u00e9u Almeida, from Estoril Higher Institute for Tourism and Hotel Studies, was one of the scholars delivering a presentation at the seminar. Hers focused on risk and resilience in tourism.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Almeida says that often tourism developments are located in areas exposed to, or likely to be exposed to, sudden-onset natural disasters. That makes effective risk prevention and management very important.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can do a lot to prevent risks associated with natural disasters,\u201d she says. Effective communication channels are important, in order to ensure everyone \u2013 including tourists that do not understand the local language \u2013 are aware of existing risks and can follow emergency guidelines, Dr. Almeida further notes.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the seminar, IFT Visiting Professor Dr. John Ap delivered a presentation on sustainable tourism planning. He says the event as a whole helped participants get a variety of perspectives on tourism planning. \u201cEthics and social responsibility in tourism are critical issues when it comes to sustainability,\u201d he states.<\/p>\n<p>Other IFT scholars delivering presentations at the seminar included Dr. Sandeep Basnyat, who talked about ethics and social responsibilities in tourism; and Dr. Sharif Shams Imon, whose presentation was about the United Nations\u2019 sustainable development goals and social responsibilities in tourism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IFT and Universidade de Lisboa\u2019s Territur research group hosted on 24 November a seminar on ethics and tourism planning.
