About the Conference
Faculty of Economics, Sanata Dharma University, Indonesia is pleased to host The 4th International Conference on Economics, Business and Management Research (ICEBMR) 2025. The theme of the conference is "Cultural Tourism as a Tool for National Building or Neocolonialism in the Bandung Spirit”. Cultural Tourism refers to efforts to share the richness of ancient Asian and African civilizations with both international and domestic tourists. In the process, there can be positive effects [increases in national pride and self-esteem] or negative effects [commercialization of spiritual values and economic dependence]. Asia Africa Conference in Bandung in 1955 was convinced that among the most powerful means of promoting understanding among nations is the development of cultural cooperation. Asia and Africa have been the cradle of great religions and civilizations while themselves being enriched in the process. Thus, the cultures of Asia and Africa are based on spiritual and universal foundations. The peoples of Asia and Africa are now animated by a keen and sincere desire to renew their old cultural contacts. They want to develop new ones in the context of the modern world. This conference aims for closer cultural cooperation through the acquisition of knowledge of each other’s country, mutual cultural exchange, and exchange of information. The Fourteenth Tata Oration in 2024 pointed out that for some nations tourism is a nation builder while for others it is neocolonialism in disguise. Using the concept of stakeholder analysis, it is possible to find a middle road between these two extremes. It emphasizes a balanced approach to tourism which is adaptative and includes domestic tourism. We invite scholars, researchers, practitioners, and students to join us. They can share new innovative studies and trends in Cultural Tourism. We expect to obtain various inputs and findings that can provide insights for policy makers and businesses, as both aim at the theme of World Tourism Day 2025 “Tourism and Sustainable Transformation”.
