On September 14^th, Faculty of International Tourism and Management invited Professor Zhang Chaozhi from Sun Yat-Sen University to hold

an academic lecture titled "Anti-criticism of Critical Heritage Research and Its Implications for Heritage Tourism Research". This lecture held

by FITM, as one of the series of academic activities, is to celebrate the 40^th Anniversary of CityU and to build academic bridges for teachers

and students.

This lecture was conducted in an online and offline sychronization mode, which attracted the participation of many teachers and students

from our university. In this lecture, Professor Zhang Chaozhi reinterpreted critical heritage research from an anti-critical perspective and

analyzed new perspectives on heritage tourism research in light of sustainable development. Under the leadership of Professor Zhang, the

students raised constructive questions and the atmosphere of the lecture was very active.

Professor Zhang Chaozhi is currently the deputy dean of the Belt and Road Research Institute of Sun Yat-sen University, the head of the

Zhangjiajie Observation Point for Sustainable Development of the United Nations World Tourism Organization（UNWTO）, and the

chairperson of the UNESCO Chair on Sustainable Tourism in UNESCO Designated Sites.

In order to broaden the horizons of teachers and students and build a good learning platform for them, FITM will regularly invite well-known scholars at home and abroad to hold academic lectures in the future.
