This seminar is a co-organization where the Islamic University of Maldives (IUM) is the main organizer. In this regard, the Tourism Management Program wishes to be the main organizer of ICITES 2025 to provide an open space and platform for academicians, researchers, postgraduate students, media practitioners, and government agencies and NGOs interested in the field of management and tourism. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss, and subsequently find solutions to the problems faced by Muslims in the field of Islamic tourism and hospitality.

The organization of ICITES 2025 is themed Fostering Socio-Economic & Islamic Tourism towards Sustainability in the Digital Era in conjunction with the current global geo-political and economic situation that affects the entire industry. In this dynamic and challenging period, the need to collaborate and work together to overcome current obstacles and navigate the path especially for the future of the Islamic tourism and hospitality industry is very great.
