Hosted by APT South Asia Chapter — conversations with leading experts on heritage conservation, restoration practices, and the intersection of culture, technology, and sustainability across South Asia and beyond.
Guest: Jason Shah (Hostel Manager, Nextdoor) · In conversation with Khushi Shah
We explore the intersection of heritage and tourism with Jason Shah, a tourism professional with extensive experience across South Asia. Together, we discuss how tourism can foster cultural exchange, strengthen shared regional identities, and support the preservation of local and indigenous heritage — and how responsible, culturally sensitive tourism can contribute to sustainable heritage conservation across the region.
