The programme will take place in Tokyo from 4 July to 7 July. This year’s theme is ‘Strategy and Innovative Value for Integrated Resort in Japan with Minimum Social Disruption’. All are welcome.

Glenn James McCartney, associate dean (curriculum & teaching) of UM’s Faculty of Business Administration (FBA); Ricardo Siu, an associate professor in the faculty; and Robin Chark, interim head of the Department of Integrated Resort and Tourism Management of the FBA, will be the keynote speakers.

For the first time, this programme is partnering with Rikkyo University, the best university in the field of tourism education in Japan. The four-day module will be focused on the current development of integrated resorts in Japan.
