The University of Queensland Business School is helping shape Brisbane’s sister city Kobe into an attractive international sports and tourist destination.
Ahead of the 2019 Rugby World Cup, 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, and 2021 Kansai World Masters Games, UQ lecturer and tourism researcher Dr Monica Chien and former MBA director and senior lecturer Dr Sarah Kelly are assisting Kobe to capitalise.
Dr Chien said the three major events presented a golden opportunity to put Kobe on the map.
