Since its foundation in 1999, Graduate Institute of Sport and Leisure Management of National Taiwan Normal University has dedicated to the cultivation of professionals in the sports and leisure industry. We have held international conferences every year since 2000. In 2012, in response to the name changing of the graduate institute to Sport, Leisure and Hospitality Management, our annual conference incorporated the topics on hospitality management, further expanding our field of focus in both academics and industry. With this international conference, we aim at creating an international platform for communications between industries, governments and academia. Over 20 years we have invited scholars, government officials, and experts in related industries from all over the globe including America, Oceania and Asia, and students also actively participate in this event. With the conference serving as a great platform, the attendants are offered an excellent opportunity to exchange information in the fields and to collaborate with one another with academic or industrial ideas. In addition, the attendants also build rapport during discussions. With 20 years of continuous efforts, our conference has gained its recognition and supports in related fields home and abroad. It is not lost on us that we shall always keep improving and bring innovative aspects to the conference every year by setting a visionary agenda, inviting renowned scholars worldwide for keynote speeches, and calling for scholars to present their researches at the conference.
