INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE
About the conference
The process of communicating information about sustainable development and practices, sustainable lifestyles, and the impact of human activities on the environment is becoming more relevant for the tourism, hospitality, and event industries (THE). Effective sustainability communication involves also sharing information about The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and how individuals and organizations can act to achieve them. It also involves promoting sustainable behavior change, increasing awareness of the importance of sustainable development.
THE enterprises are making commendable efforts in promoting sustainability; however, sometimes they appear to be falling short in effectively communicating their sustainability initiatives. Even when sustainability themes are integrated into their marketing strategies, it remains unclear if the intended audience is fully grasping the sustainability messages being conveyed. To address this issue, this conference aims to evaluate the effectiveness of sustainability messaging and assess the impact of culture and communication on the understanding and acceptance of sustainability messages in marketing.
