The conference is organized by the Social Transformation Research Platform of Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang with collaboration of the Tourism Research Circle of the School of Housing, Building & Planning. The conference, an expanded version of National Conference on Tourism Research, provides a venue to stimulate multidisciplinary discussions and sharing of tourism related researches and findings to further enhance and enrich the knowledge of the tourism stakeholders, including academicians, practioners, professionals as well as students of tourism. As tourism is regarded as one of the priority areas in the National Key Economic Areas (NKEA) set by the Government, more integrated and directed researches are needed to provide insightful information towards good planning and development of tourism products. The conference theme ‘The State of the Art and Its Sustainability’ spells out the quest for knowledge on the level of tourism development and researches in this region and the sustainability of the sector. All papers presented went through strict peer-reviewed before final papers being selected. The author wishes to acknowledge the contributions of all members of the Scientific Committee and also the conference the secretariat with the hope that results from the papers presented in the conference would be translated into meaningful and real cases.
