Tourism and Hospitality Track
|
= |
The tourism and
hospitality track of this conference aims to examine emerging paradigms
and innovative practices within the broader tourism and hospitality
field. We are seeking papers that employ research methods and/or engage
theoretically with the subject area. The objective is to present work
that is transformative and which embraces serious intellectual
discussion. Scholarly endeavour that unearths nascent areas of academic
study, or progressively questions existing paradigms and epistemological
applications will be most welcome. This track will thus attempt to
encourage alternative approaches within tourism and hospitality studies
rather
than reproducing well-established empirical models and conceptual
applications. The overall aim of this track is to present a new agenda
for future research and theoretical exposition
