Knowledge Corner: What is an ISBN and the Practical Value of the Publication?
To help our readers better understand the scale and nature of the publication in which Tropical Trekking is featured, we would like to share some basic academic and publishing terminologies:
ISBN (International Standard Book Number): Being granted an ISBN proves that IMPACT is an official publication, legally deposited and recognized with a unique identifier globally (similar to an "ID card" for a book or a monograph compilation).
Practical Applicability (Magazine vs. Academic Journal): In the international publishing system, academic journals heavily focus on theory and research validation (using ISSN). Meanwhile, IMPACT positions itself as an "International Magazine" – a specialized publication aimed at applied transformation.
What does this mean? It signifies that Tropical Trekking's article is highly evaluated by experts from the perspective of an outstanding practical Case Study. We do not just talk about sustainable tourism theories on paper; Tropical Trekking is actively applying, operating, and creating genuine values for the community.
Factors that make the publication truly "prestigious"
Professionalism and Standardization: This publication is issued by the Southeast Asia Research Academy (SEARA) and holds the international standard identifier ISBN 978-0-6486175-3-2.
International Scope: This is the 2nd issue, published in September 2025 by the international magazine "IMPACT." The table of contents shows Tropical Trekking's article on page 15, published alongside various authors and diverse topics across the ASEAN region.
The magazine aims to drive transformation for practitioners, academics, and the community ("International Magazine for Practitioner, Academic and Community Transformation"). This orientation perfectly aligns with spreading a practical business model like our article on responsible and sustainable tourism. Furthermore, IMPACT receives direct support from the Indigenous and Transcultural Research Centre (ITRC) to promote academic publishing and knowledge dissemination.
Tropical Trekking - Not Just Adventure, But CULTURE
The article in IMPACT has elucidated the core "DNA" in Tropical Trekking's business model: Responsibility and Sustainability.
Specifically, Tropical Trekking's model focuses on 3 main pillars:
Nature Conservation: Minimizing impacts on the ecological environment, strictly adhering to the "Leave No Trace" principles.
Indigenous Community Development: Creating sustainable livelihoods for local people through training and accompanying them in the role of porters/guides.
Profound Customer Experience: Bringing tourists not only physical challenges but also a deep connection with indigenous culture and nature.
What does this achievement mean for our companions?
The achievement in IMPACT is a stepping stone, but our ultimate destination remains the smiles of our guests and the lush green of the forests. The recognition from the network of ASEAN scholars and experts (SEARA) is a tremendous motivation for Tropical Trekking to continuously improve our service quality.
For every customer, when you choose to pack your backpack and travel with Tropical Trekking, you are not just buying a trekking tour.
