Abstract of Paper:
Travel agencies have modernized the way they communicate their package tours to travelers through digital technology. It is however imperative to also understand travelers’ needs in order to remain competitive in the market. In particular, it is crucial to clearly recognize the diversity in travel needs particularly the travel desires of Muslims travelers since they hold a different set of values and beliefs that guide their travel needs. Hence, this research attempts to understand Islamic travel needs among Muslim travelers and how such needs can impact the attractiveness of package tours in Malaysia. The travel needs of Muslim travelers i.e. travel motives, travel behavior and perceived travel barriers will be determined against the attractiveness of packaged tours.

Abstract of Paper:
In order to give a more realistic view of how ESG and sustainability are developed in organisations, this paper explores the development of purpose in corporate governance and the challenges faced. The theme is analysed at the intersection between stakeholder theory and business models in two dimensions: the capability of the market to align stakeholders’ interests (invisible hand) and the trade-offs between purpose and profit. The analysis conducted gave rise to four scenarios with a range of theoretical and practical implications focused on corporate governance.
