Since the tourism industry contributes immensely towards national development, fostering its development is essential as we envision the evolution that is shaping the industry. The theme of the conference reflect on the future of the ASEAN Tourism that has adopted the ASEAN Tourism Strategic Plan (ATSP) 2016-2025. This plan aims to strategically transform the region into a competitive, sustainable, and more socio-economically inclusive and integrated tourism destination. That creates multiple research opportunities to be discussed at ATRC 2017. Political circumstances, economic volatilities, sociological evolutions, environmental issues, demographic changes, and new technologies are some of the challenging issues that need to be discussed as ASEAN move towards becoming One Community. To achieve this, extra- disciplinary inquiries into the intricacies of present predicaments are a must - and every practitioner, educator and researcher plays an imperative role in this transition. This conference focuses on a broad range of topics related to hospitality and tourism challenges and development in ASEAN and outside ASEAN. It is a strategic platform for academic, research and industry exchange. The various sessions in this conference will help researchers, academics, industry stakeholders and practitioners to discuss and understand the future trends that can shape the tourism and hospitality industry in ASEAN as envisaged in the theme of the conference. We look forward to meeting with you during the conference.

  • Tourist Satisfaction Towards Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Using Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) As a Tool to Determine Urban Ecotourism Potential
    Journal of Tropical Biology and Conservation 17: 187–202, 2020 ISSN 1823-3902 E-ISSN 2550-1909 Research Article Tourist Satisfaction towards Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Using Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) As a Tool to Determine Urban Ecotourism Potential Nattana Simon¹, Fiffy Hanisdah Saikim¹*, Awangku Hassanal Bahar Pengiran Bagul², Nor Akmar Abdul Aziz3 ¹Institute for Tropical Biology & Conservation, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Jalan UMS, 88400 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia ²Faculty of Business, Economy and Accounting, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Jalan UMS, 88400, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia 3Department of Nature Parks and Recreation, Faculty of Forestry and Environment, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 Serdang, Malaysia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) is widely used in many fields of study as it produces simple and straightforward results. However, it is rarely used by managers of ecotourism and urban green spaces. Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) was adopted from a destination perspective to understand industry demand. This study explores the visitors’ satisfaction level on ecotourism attributes i.e. attraction, urban green spaces and accessibility that affect tourist satisfaction towards Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia using IPA scheme. A total of 384 tourists to Kota Kinabalu were provided with a list of environmental features and asked to rate the importance of and satisfaction with each attribute. IPA was performed to compare mean scores and identify areas of concern. The analysis identified eight (8) attributes which were applauded with excellent performance on highly important features and should maintain its competitiveness as a tourist destination. Six (6) attributes resulted under the poor performance on an extremely important category; indicates the areas that should be given improvement interventions, while four (4) attributes were identified as possible overkill that implies divergences of resources elsewhere are needed.

  • Open Educational Resources
    C O L AND DISTANCE LEARNING AND DISTANCE PERSPECTIVES ON OPEN C O L PERSPECTIVES ON OPEN AND DISTANCE LEARNING PERSPECTIVES ON OPEN AND DISTANCE LEARNING OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES: AN ASIAN PERSPECTIVE Higher education has experienced phenomenal growth in all parts of Asia over the last two decades — from the Korean peninsula in the east to the western borders of Central Asia. This expansion, coupled with a diversity of delivery and technology options, has meant that more and more young Asians are experiencing tertiary education within their own countries. Open Educational Resources: An Asian Perspective Open Educational Resources: In South, South East and Far East Asia especially, universities, polytechnics, colleges and training institutes with a variety of forms, structures, academic programmes and funding provisions have been on an almost linear upward progression. Notwithstanding this massive expansion, equitable access is still a challenge for Asian countries. There is also concern that expansion will erode quality. The use of digital resources Open Educational is seen as one way of addressing the dual challenges of quality and equity. Open educational resources (OER), free of licensing encumbrances, hold the promise of equitable access to knowledge and learning. However, the full potential of OER is only realisable with greater Resources: An Asian knowledge about OER, skills to effectively use them and policy provisions to support their establishment in Asian higher education. This book, the result of an OER Asia research project hosted and implemented by the Wawasan Perspective Open University in Malaysia, with support from Canada’s International Development Research Centre, brings together ten country reports and ten case studies on OER in the Asian region that highlight typical situations in each context.

  • Sustainable Smallholder Agriculture Clusters in the Philippines
    Sustainable Smallholder Agriculture Clusters in the Philippines: Why do some fail while others survive? John Angus Oakeshott B.Sc. (Agr.), M.B.A. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2019 School of Agriculture and Food Sciences i ii Abstract The important role and contribution of smallholder farmers (SHF) in the southern Philippines towards national food security and the fabric of the nation is without question. This study identified the priorities for a SHF collective action approach for sustainable livelihood improvement. These priorities developed into the Sustainable Agricultural Cluster Framework (SACF) that included the interactions, perturbations and transformational influences to describe the SHF collective approach. Since 2010 the Philippines has enjoyed an annual economic growth of over 6% in Gross Domestic Product (GDP); however, poverty and hunger persists and in some rural regions continues to worsen. The failure of GDP benefits reaching the vulnerable poor and influencing poverty puts more importance on policies to strengthen and enhance national food and nutritional security. An increasing population, lack of infrastructure, encroachment of global marketing, decaying resources, SHFs limited knowledge of marketing and production, and Climate Change threaten the development goals of the Government of the Philippines. These structural and natural disaster threats disproportionately affect the SHFs and other vulnerable poor. Rural projects and structural adjustment programs frequently focus on financial improvement and promotion of farming practices that integrate into an economically efficient conventional food system. Whilst providing long-term benefits to the national economy these transformational programs can impose economic hardships on SHFs, or worse a permanent collapse of their local food system as they embrace the global trade of the conventional food system.
