Hospitality, Leisure, Tourism and Events
Management
In this area of management, competing perspectives
on the challenges facing business and management have almost
always been a central concern, be it significance to
organisations, managers and workforce or consumers. This track aims
to encompass the full wealth of management research but also welcomes
critical and social scientific perspectives as applied to
hospitality, leisure, tourism and events management and also papers
concerned with methodological issues of relevance to advancing new
knowledge. Whilst we welcome all good management papers applied to
the hospitality, leisure, tourism and events industries, we are
particularly interested in those which address some of the issues
below:

Global Events Congress IV: Events and Festivals Research: State of the Art
The Global
Events Congress IV: Events and Festivals Research: State of the Art
taking place from 14-16 July 2010 at The Rose Bowl in Leeds.
There has been a massive growth of research relating to festivals
and events over recent years. Much of this has been precipitated by, or
has at least resonated with, a policy discourse that presents festivals
and events as ‘good’ socio-culturally and economically. There has also
been an explosion of university courses. Events management programmes
(including specialist provision concerned with the arts, culture or
sport, for example) now proliferate internationally. Moreover, modules
on festivals and events have become a common feature of tourism and
related courses.
The assortment of recent research has drawn on a variety of
disciplines and fields of study, such as sociology, economics,
management, education, public policy, tourism, sport and leisure
studies, planning, and environmental studies.
This conference will take stock and to add insight by enabling
connections to be made between different aspects of the currently
rather fragmented festivals and events research landscape. By bringing
together the researchers from across the world, the event will
encourage the creation of new research partnerships.
Please refer to the menu on the left for further information.
The deadline for Abstracts is Monday 18th January 2010. |
