There are currently extensive discussions on the remarkable development of the convention industry and the impact on local economies made by convention visitors, but there is limited research on the human resources expertise which is crucial for sustainable and qualitative development in the field of convention. This study aims to examine differences in core competencies based on the type of job characteristics model of convention project managers. Based on the existing literature, quantitative and qualitative mixed-methods design was used. 12 semi-structured interviews were conducted with professionals to define measurements, especially core competencies. Job characteristics and core competencies were identified with a survey of 392 convention PM. By using a cluster analysis, it investigated the differences in perception of competencies according to the job characteristics model. As a result of the analysis, five job characteristics were verified, and core competencies that were not organized were classified. In addition, it was confirmed through the analysis that there is a difference in perception of core competencies according to job characteristics. Based on the results, this study stresses the importance of the qualitative and sustainable development of the convention industry. Theoretical and practical implications were provided to enhance core competencies according to job characteristics for sustainable growth of convention project managers.

“…More specifically, the Language for Specific Purposes (LSP) courses, whose main aim is to train future international professionals, should provide exposure not only to language but to culture as well. In the context of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), in particular, a lot of scholars have underscored the importance of culture and the need for the development of the learners' intercultural competence, through ESP instruction (Zoranyan, 2008;Lindner, 2010;Tang, 2014). Luka (2007: 7), in particular, claims that 'intercultural competence' is a component of 'ESP competence', along with 'communicative competence' and 'professional activity'.…”

The practice of intercultural communication should be a primary goal of Language for Specific Purposes (LSP) courses in tertiary education, because, through language instruction, future professionals can become aware of intercultural differences and develop strategies to deal with them, thus equipping themselves with necessary skills for effective cross-cultural communication in a globalized work environment. In this study, the intercultural awareness of first and second year undergraduate students attending an English for Business and Economics course was examined in relation to their interest in the economy and culture of other countries as well as to their preferred sources of information about current economic issues. Their preferences and perceptions regarding the intercultural elements incorporated in the methods and material used in the English course were also explored. The analysis of the Likert-type questionnaire revealed that intercultural awareness needs to be further practiced in class and led to important implications for the teaching methods and tasks used in the LSP courses.

The same is true for the sustainable ecological exhibition, but its suppliers have a higher requirement, that is, the supply of environmental protection, the resources they provide to the exhibition and the way they provide are ecological and sustainable, and cannot only consider the economic interests.…”
