Join us for a guest lecture by Dr. CHEN, Zhaoyu Vicky, an expert in heritage conservation and tourism with experience at UNESCO Bangkok and Beijing, The University of Hong Kong, and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Drawing on her international and local work in cultural heritage management, Dr. Chen explores the dynamic relationship between heritage and tourism — conflict or symbiosis?

 

Through real-world examples, she examines how tourism can both sustain and threaten cultural heritage, highlighting the importance of balancing conservation with accessibility to ensure a sustainable and symbiotic future for our shared cultural assets.
