It addresses the issues involved in intelligent planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish tourism's strategic and operational objectives. It encourages theoretical and practical, policy and empirical contributions in tourism, technology, and intelligence across social science, economy, education, and engineering. It welcomes new theories, techniques, concepts, algorithms, prototypes, and applications impacting the hospitality and tourism sectors.</p> <p><strong>This journal is founded, co-organised, and managed by Duy Tan University, Vietnam.

<p>Vietnam’s demand for energy has grown significantly due to the country’s economy’s fast development and expansion over the last ten years. The majority of energy in the future will have to come from renewable sources due to the issue of greenhouse gas emissions, which will force a significant transition away from fossil fuels as the primary energy source. In the Power Development Plan VIII with a vision to 2050, Vietnam’s power sector has labored to develop new resources such as solar and wind energies in an effort to build and enhance the nation’s power system. A technical and financial model for the construction of a hybrid grid-connected photovoltaic plant with a battery energy storage system under practical optimization problems is presented in this work. Certain business models link the analysis to hourly irradiation by taking into account the hourly energy demand profile for planned working activities. The suggested hybrid system’s investment, needed power, and capacity are evaluated and optimized using a variety of scenarios. These findings demonstrate the system’s economic viability and technological viability in our suggested approaches.</p>

<p class="ICST-abstracttext"><span lang="EN-GB">INTRODUCTION: In the eco and responsible tourism sector, social enterprises (organisations which fund their social mission through market activities) can meaningfully engage with local communities in their pursuit of social impact. </span></p> <p class="ICST-abstracttext"><span lang="EN-GB">OBJECTIVES: This paper explores the trade-offs social enterprises make to balance market viability and social mission within the eco and responsible tourism context, focusing on how these trade-offs intersect and impact organisational strategies.</span></p> <p class="ICST-abstracttext"><span lang="EN-GB">METHODS: The research adopts a thematic analysis of data collected from nine social enterprise organisations who partook in semi-structured interviews. </span></p> <p class="ICST-abstracttext"><span lang="EN-GB">RESULTS: Two intersecting axes of trade-offs are presented: how beneficiaries are included in the development of market outputs, and the second on how its social value is dispersed. </span></p> <p class="ICST-abstracttext"><span lang="EN-GB">CONCLUSION: A framework is developed to enable self-reflection and evaluation of the trade-offs and risks involved to social mission and market viability. </span></p>
