We are delighted to welcome you to the IMPACT2025 Conference at the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and Hotel ICON.
 

Tourism and hospitality are powerful forces for economic development, cultural exchange, and global connection. With that influence also comes an equally significant responsibility to safeguard our planet. The imperative for a sustainable future is no longer an option, but a necessity.
 

Under the theme “Transforming Hospitality and Tourism for a Sustainable Future”, IMPACT2025 Conference continues to foster deeper collaboration between academia and the industry, bringing research, practice, and leadership together to co-create IMPACTful solutions that support the growth of the global hospitality and tourism industry.
 

This year’s conference will spotlight two timely topics: Sustainable Tourism and Smart Hotels, exploring how we can build responsible tourism ecosystems while embracing innovations that enhance operational efficiency and guest experience.
 

We look forward to seeing you at the conference!
