Discussion Topics: Resilience strategies employed in events to address environmental and social challenges; the positive effects that environmentally responsible event planning can have on tourist destinations; case studies of tourist destinations where the integration of sustainability and resilience into events has been executed successfully; stakeholders’ partnerships to promote resilience and sustainability in tourism destinations.
