CHRIST (Deemed to be University) was born out of the educational vision of St Kuriakose Elias Chavara, an educationalist and social reformer of the nineteenth century in South India. He founded the first Catholic indigenous congregation, Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI), in 1831, which administers CHRIST (Deemed to be University).

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a transformative blueprint to achieve inclusive growth, environmental sustainability, and social equity by 2030. Amid rising global challenges such as climate change, inequality, and resource depletion, the role of businesses and the tourism sector has become increasingly critical in advancing this agenda.
Businesses—ranging from multinational corporations to SMEs—play a pivotal role in achieving the SDGs by embedding sustainability into their strategies and value chains. Embracing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, green innovation, and circular economy models, many enterprises are shifting from compliance to competitiveness in sustainability. Similarly, the tourism industry, a key global employer and GDP contributor, offers unique potential to drive inclusive and regenerative development through responsible practices, heritage preservation, and technology adoption.
This international conference aims to explore how the business and tourism sectors can act as catalysts for sustainable transformation. Key themes include ESG integration, technology-enabled sustainability, green tourism, renewable energy, and multi-stakeholder partnerships. It will delve into how AI, blockchain, and IoT are reshaping sustainable operations, how climate action can be scaled through innovation, and how cross-sector collaboration can enhance SDG delivery.
Bringing together researchers, industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators, the conference fosters interdisciplinary dialogue and actionable knowledge sharing. By aligning strategic business and tourism initiatives with global sustainability goals, the event seeks to inspire resilient, inclusive, and future-ready communities, contributing meaningfully to SDG progress.
