I With the generous support of the APU Alumni Association Support Change Makers Fund, participating in the APacCHRIE 2026 Conference: “Futurizing Tourism and Hospitality: Embracing New Challenges and Innovation” became a transformative milestone in my academic journey.

Through this valuable experience, I had the opportunity to engage directly with researchers and experts from around the world in the field of hospitality and tourism. By attending cutting-edge research presentations and participating in academic discussions, I deepened my understanding of the latest research methods and industry trends while significantly broadening my perspective on my own research.

Furthermore, exchanging ideas and receiving feedback from researchers from diverse backgrounds provided me with new perspectives and valuable insights to further develop my current research. This experience strengthened my confidence as a researcher and motivated me to continue advancing my studies and contribute to the development of the hospitality and tourism field in the future.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all donors of the APU Alumni Association Support Change Makers Fund for making this wonderful opportunity possible. Thanks to your generous support, I was able to present my research on an international stage and receive valuable advice and feedback from experts in the field.

Your support provided much more than assistance for conference participation. It gave me the opportunity to connect with researchers from around the world and the encouragement to take on new challenges. I will continue to cherish the knowledge and connections gained through this experience and strive to conduct research that contributes positively to society.
