Asif Hussain, PhD, is an independent strategic consultant who specialises in infrastructure development, tourism and environmental economics. He is an Indigenous person and passionate advocate for community well-being and has led innovative, transformative and life-changing outcomes for businesses and communities alike.
Asif is passionate about community well-being and believes that collective community resilience is vital to ensure long-term sustainability. His understanding of sustainability and resilience as a concept and a phenomenon served as a core to the longevity of Indigenous nations and cultures across the globe. He believes that Indigenous communities and their ancestor's farsightedness, planning, and binding understanding of a shared future laid the foundation of the concept of sustainability and resilience. These founding principles of collaboration, joint planning, and collective resilience were made possible by identifying strengths and diverse skills, which enabled communities to move forward in times of crisis for collective well-being.
Asif’s research focus is on regenerative tourism, resilience, sustainability, climate change, Indigenous studies, infrastructure development and community development.
