Tourism is an important and growing sector of the economy in many parts of Global South. The sector is recognized as a vehicle for social and economic development, local empowerment and poverty reduction. While tourism has a great potential for income and employment creation, the growth of tourism comes with its own set of risks and impacts for destinations. Thus, there is a critical need for sustainability thinking in tourism studies and education. The Special Interest Group 6 – Tourism and the SDG’s – aims to activate research and education that considers the integration of SDGs to tourism development and how to make tourism more inclusive, responsible, and resilient in the future.

SANORD Special interest Group for SDG 9 United Nations Sustainability Development Goal 9 aims to build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialisation and foster innovation. These aims include inclusive and sustainable industrialisation together with innovation and infrastructure. The purpose is to unleash dynamic and competitive economic forces, to generate employment and income, to promote new technologies, to facilitate international trade as well as to enable the efficient use of resources. As the innovation in this group is defined in the very broad and multidisciplinary way – in addition to the technological innovations – innovation can also be e.g. social innovation. It can, for example, be a product, service, mode of organization or even a new area for modified activities.
