Abstract

The study examines the pivotal role of scientific research in advancing the tourism and traditional industries sectors, focusing on the challenges and opportunities inherent in transferring knowledge from research institutions to practical applications. The research analyzes the impact of scientific findings on these sectors and investigates strategies to bridge the gap between academia and industry. The paper’s main aim is to highlight the significance of fostering collaboration between researchers and industry stakeholders to enhance innovation and drive sustainable economic growth. The study identifies critical barriers such as organizational resistance, funding constraints, and communication gaps that impede
effective knowledge transfer. To address these challenges, it proposes a framework of participatory strategies, including improved funding mechanisms, development of knowledge-sharing platforms, and skill enhancement for knowledge transfer personnel. The findings underscore the transformative potential of integrating scientific research outputs into industry practices, aiming to foster a culture of innovation and collaboration for sustainable development in tourism and traditional industries.

Keywords: Academia-industry collaboration, knowledge transfer, scientific research, tourism industry, traditional industry
