Interreligious dialogue within the framework of academic tourism represents an effective mechanism of public diplomacy, endowed with a unique potential to promote global peace and mutual understanding. Nevertheless, this study identifies five fundamental challenges that hinder its efficacy. First is the phenomenon of the "touristification of dialogue", which reduces profound religious content to superficial experiential encounters. Second, the political instrumentalization of dialogue institutions by governments pursuing geopolitical agendas. Third, the infiltration of missionary movements disguised as academic programs. Fourth, favoritism in the distribution of academic opportunities. And fifth, the overemphasis on abstract themes at the expense of practical issues. The research proposes a comprehensive framework centered on three foundational pillars to enhance interreligious dialogue:

The design of multilayered oversight mechanisms emphasizing transparency of objectives and strengthening the ethical accountability of institutions engaged in this field, thereby minimizing political and ideological manipulation.
The establishment of ethical frameworks grounded in financial transparency, aimed at reducing dependence on political actors and enabling an independent space for scholarly engagement.
The promotion of interdisciplinary approaches that integrate theology, social sciences, and environmental studies to shift dialogues from abstract discussions toward concrete societal challenges such as social justice, climate change, and cultural coexistence.

By synthesizing theory and practice, this study offers a pragmatic model that repositions interreligious dialogue from a theoretical construct into a tangible instrument for addressing global challenges.
