The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of experiences offered to participants at scientific conferences, as well as their influence on the preservation of natural resources.
The methodology applied analysed knowledge management practices in various destinations and companies in the sector, addressing aspects such as staff training, scientific content generation, collaboration with local experts, and social impact measurement. A model and architecture for knowledge management in sustainable scientific tourism was proposed.
The main findings were the identification of best practices in knowledge management, recommendations for improving the conference attendee experience and destination sustainability, and a deeper understanding of how science and tourism can coexist for mutual benefit. Value/Originality of Research: The value of this research was to enrich the synergy between science and tourism, opening new perspectives for scientific outreach and environmental conservation in the context of scientific tourism conferences.
