Good morning all
I’m forwarding the following information on South Australia's Open State
Festival from Marianna Sigala, professor of tourism, University of SA. I’m one
of the speakers.
The title of my presentation is "Back to the basics: Aboriginal values
(trans)-forming the Sharing tourism economy in the 21st century”. This
lecture is relevant to birders in that I discuss the role they played in the
decision of Kunwinjku elders to open their country at Baby Dreaming
(Kudjekbinj, western Arnhem Land) to visitors. Secondly, I speak about the
sharing economy in relation to both birders and Bininj.
For anyone interested in China may I recommend Professor Xiang’s address? She
has spoken previously about the Chinese Government’s inclusion of the sharing
economy in their five year social and developmental plan to alleviate poverty
in rural communities and I hope this will again be her topic. This may enhance
access of particular birders into more remote areas.
Regards
Denise

I would like to personally invite you to our event “Sharing Economy and
Tourism” on the 4th October 2017.
Please find below information about our event
The Sharing Economy is an important issue that has raised many issues in the
tourism economy.
The sharing Economy is not just UBER and AIRBNB. It is growing exponentially
affecting all sectors in tourism (i.e. transportation, accommodation, visitor
attractions, events, restaurants, tour operators…)
Join our workshop to learn more about:
- The new players and their business models
- How your business is being affected
- The entrepreneurial opportunities and threats created by the sharing
economy
- The impacts of the sharing economy on industry structures, policy
making and employment patterns
The workshop features three sessions and a grand debate bringing together 11
speakers representing researchers, sharing entrepreneurs and start-ups, leading
professionals in the field.
We have teamed up with the SA Government and this workshop is part of the Open
State Festival, so we are expecting a lot of participants.
I would be delighted if you can join us in this event and/or exchange insights
into the sharing economy, as we currently work on several research projects on
this issue.
With kind regards,
Marianna Sigala
Professor of Tourism

Entrepreneurship and sharing economy in tourism: unravelling economic,
socio-cultural and environmental impacts
The Centre for Tourism and Leisure Management has teamed up with the Open State
festival in 2017. The Open State is a festival of collaboration, innovation,
ideas and enterprise, held annually in Adelaide. This year, Open State will run
from 28 September – 8 October. Alongside Open State, we will help bring
together community, government and business to ignite discussion, celebrate
innovation and find practical solutions to the challenges facing South
Australia now and in the future. Attend our event Entrepreneurship and sharing
economy in tourism: unravelling economic, socio-cultural and environmental
impacts to help co-create South Australia's future.
The sharing economy in tourism is growing at exponential rates. By transforming
the way we live, work, produce, consume and exchange goods and services, the
sharing economy is challenging the fundamental institutions of employment, work
and entrepreneurship, while it can also generate social value. The new breed of
sharing micro-entrepreneurs are driven by unconventional and controversial
entrepreneurial motives, while they follow un-traditional work patterns. The
workshop gathers leading academics, sharing economy entrepreneurs and
professional experts to present findings and discuss the following economic,
socio-cultural and environmental impacts of the sharing economy:
Sharing economy and transformations of social values, lifestyles, working
patterns and consumption behaviours.
Does the sharing economy generate social value? How can we normalise and
institutionalise to ensure a wider sustainable positive impact?
How the sharing economy disrupts industry structures and economic systems?
What types of employment and entrepreneurship opportunities are fuelled by the
sharing economy?
The workshop features:
11 presentations from internationally recognised academics and sharing economy
entrepreneurs, all experts in their field.
A discussion panel with leading experts and entrepreneurs from the sharing
economy.
Do not miss the opportunity to access and discuss knowledge and experiences
with the prominent speakers of this Open State workshop.
Participation is free, but registration is required for planning purposes.
