As our society evolves, so does our understanding of sustainability and its interplay with Leisure & Events. This complex relationship was spotlighted as one of the focus areas during the Future of Leisure Conference. Showing us the potential for a world where leisure not only coexists but thrives alongside sustainable practices.

If you open your eyes, you see the cracks; if you listen, you hear the squeaking and creaking: nitrogen, loneliness, food banks, energy prices, working conditions, gender inequality. The old doesn't seem to work anymore. Old, mostly white, men and women talk on TV. Politicians speak in circles. Scientists say things must change. 'The world is falling apart,’ a cry of urgency to those who want to hear and those who do not. It is clear that things have to change, but how?

It is 2040 and there are no waste bins on the streets, and there is no litter in sight. Nothing goes to waste, food leftovers become compost, and packaging materials are valuable resources. The circular economy is alive, nature is being restored, the water flowing in our rivers is crystalline, the air we breathe is clean, and the climate is balanced. Too good to be true?

There is a growing awareness of the social impact of leisure. In companies, governments, social enterprises and in leisure science itself, both in terms of an object of study and a task: the 2014 Butler lecture, for example, made recommendations for leisure scientists to boost social impact and help society understand and address social challenges.

Creating real-life experiences with a purpose is the domain of the event manager. Developers and organisers of B-to-C and B-to-B trade fairs also invest heavily in the 'total experience' and pull out all the stops to stimulate the visitor's senses. We are in the middle of the experience economy in both public and corporate events: visitors want meaningful experiences that are felt on an emotional level. All kinds of touchpoints are orchestrated to make the trade fair concept a unique and personalised experience. It is no longer just about the live encounters. Increasingly, crossovers between real-life and virtual experiences are being developed. Technological innovations combined with globalisation and the emergence of a 'hyper-connected world' have pushed developments even further in this direction. Event organisers are increasingly asking themselves what their core business is: is it creating experiences for visitors or generating meaning for people or society? This is also the case at Jaarbeurs Utrecht. This article examines the Bouwbeurs (International Building and Construction trade fair), Jaarbeurs Utrecht's own trade fair title, as a case study. This is done on the basis of the results of a fourth-year project group of BUas' Strategic Event Management minor in combination with the vision of Concept Developer Camille Janssen of Royal Jaarbeurs Utrecht.

Roland Kleve, director of the Academy of Leisure & Events, Breda University of Applied Sciences writes the closing column of this edition of Uncover.

The collaboration workplaces (Samenwerkplaatsen) of the ULLB sees direct involvement of residents in their own living environment as a prerequisite for sustainable, inclusive development. Leisure practices, such as the ones in the new library, provide an opportunity to support the transformation of the role of residents in the social playing field.

The leisure industry is influenced by what happens in society. This impact may take a while, such as the gradual ageing of the western population. Such gradually (sometimes even imperceptibly) increasing forces are also called stress factors. But Covid-19 has also shown that suddenly something unexpected can happen which can affect the industry considerably. These are referred to as shock factors or black swans or, in severe cases, disruptions. As a company or an organisation, you can try to guard against the effects of future influences in advance, by spotting them early and taking measures which reduce vulnerability to such developments. If you can manage that, you become more ‘future-proof’.

Een positieve buzz. Zo mag je de sfeer wel typeren op het eerste landelijke congres van de academies voor leisure en eventmanagement van Breda University, Inholland, NHL Stenden en Willem de Kooning Academy. Met een mooi plenair programma en breakouts rond vier perspectieven: placemaking, inclusie, sustainability en technologie waar bezoekers werden uitgedaagd na te denken over het congresthema: the future of leisure.

Vrijetijd is bron van blijdschap en geluk, en in die zin een mensenrecht. Maar het is niet voor alle mensen even vanzelfsprekend dat recreatie, sport, attracties, musea en theaters makkelijk toegankelijk zijn. Voor veel van deze problemen is het mogelijk oplossingen te ontwerpen, maar dan moeten de ontwerpers, managers en werknemers van deze vrijetijdsvoorzieningen zich wel bewust zijn van de aard en omvang van de problemen. De beste manier om hier achter te komen is om direct samen te werken met de mensen om wie het gaat.

I have recently been appointed as a full Professor of Leisure and Tourism Experience at Tilburg University. In my inaugural lecture, due on June 10th of this year, I address the research program I want to pursue in my professorship. Social inclusion is one of the focus points of this research program. In this article I briefly outline how and why social inclusion is an important point to address in the scientific study of leisure and tourism.

Voor gezond toerisme is een sterke basis van infrastructuur nodig voor het reizen. Daar hapert het, bruggen moeten vervangen worden en wegen vragen om onderhoud. 4 investeringsmaatregelen worden gevraagd door een coalitie van ondernemersorganisaties.

Elk jaar meet het NBTC hoe ver de Nederlandse toeristische sector staat met digitalisering. En elk jaar is de conclusie tweeledig: de ambities zijn er, maar de implementatie blijft achter. Ondernemers weten dat digitaal werken noodzakelijk is — maar de dagelijkse praktijk van een druk seizoen, beperkte IT-kennis en verouderde systemen maakt de stap naar een solide digitale infrastructuur lastig.
