*No Submission or Publication Charges for Supporting Journals

PUBLISH HELP

A breakthrough free TIIKM project to make your research publication possible.

Preliminary reviews for your full paper with the world-class publication steering committee before the conference.

One of the major issues faced by novice researchers/authors in the present is the lack of perspectives to improve writing for academic publications. "PUBLISHelp" is introduced by TIIKM to help authors develop their full papers before the conference. Once the request is made, a steering committee member will be assigned to provide the author with developmental comments to improve the full paper. Our main goal is to assist our conference participants in keeping one step ahead to improve their valuable research papers.

SPECIAL FOCUS: Pathways to Resilience: Sustainable Practices in Tourism and Leisure
The tourism and leisure sector, a vital part of global economies and cultural exchange, faces rapidly evolving challenges. The conference, "Pathways to Resilience: Sustainable Practices in Tourism and Leisure," will highlight the need for transformative, resilient approaches to address emerging mega-trends in tourism.
Climate change, geopolitical instability, and shifting traveler expectations - particularly the demand for responsible experiences - call for a shift beyond mass tourism. This shift involves embracing alternative models, such as ecotourism and community-based tourism, emphasizing environmental protection, local empowerment, and cultural preservation.
The conference will examine the social dimensions of sustainable tourism, exploring ways to foster inclusive growth and community well-being. In addition, it will address the role of technology, including AI, in shaping tourism's future through personalized experiences and sustainable resource management.
The conference aims to bring together academics, industry professionals, policymakers, and local communities to showcase innovative strategies that minimize environmental impact, maximize socio-economic benefits, and enhance the visitor experience. Participants will discuss cutting-edge research, best practices, and emerging trends, contributing to a more resilient and responsible future.
This global forum will tackle critical issues such as overtourism, resource depletion, cultural commodification, equitable benefit distribution, and the ethical implications of AI. By integrating sustainable practices and transitioning toward alternative tourism models, the sector can navigate uncertainties, enhance long-term viability, and contribute to a more equitable, environmentally conscious society.

SPECIAL FOCUS: Bridging Boundaries: Collaborative Solutions to Complex Social Issues in an Interconnected World

In an era defined by globalization, transnational interdependencies, and rapid change, the importance of cooperation across academic, civic, and community spheres has never been more urgent. "Bridging Boundaries - Collaborative Solutions to Complex Social Issues in an Interconnected World" invites perspectives on how social scientists, policymakers, practitioners, and community members can work together across borders to address today's most pressing global challenges. As economic, political, and technological forces reshape societies, how can we develop solutions that transcend national and disciplinary silos to confront systemic inequality, climate change, political polarization, digital transformation, and the evolving nature of work on a global scale?

We seek papers investigating how interdisciplinary research, participatory engagement, and policy development can align to foster lasting and inclusive approaches to complex global issues and societal well-being. Contributions from scholars in sociology, psychology, political science, anthropology, economics, law, education, international relations, global studies, and related fields are encouraged, with an emphasis on fresh insights and tangible examples of transnational and globally networked approaches. We welcome both empirical studies and theoretical reflections that push the boundaries of conventional thinking. By bridging boundaries - between disciplines, nations, and sectors - this conference aims to set an agenda to advance our collective understanding of today's urgent social problems and illuminate pathways to transformative solutions that promise lasting, positive impacts on communities worldwide.
