Purpose and Theme

The purpose of the symposium is to bring researchers together to network, discuss and form collaborations for conducting and advancing research in the field of ICT and tourism, hospitality and events. To facilitate and boost research dialogues and collaborations, the 2017 Research Symposium is connected with four special issues in top academic journals. Participants will have the opportunity to make a short presentation (5-10 minutes) to their peers about a research idea so, that they can receive feedback and identify collaborators for completing their research project. Participants will be encouraged to submit their completed research study to the following special issues:

  • Journal of Business Research: Value co-destruction and online deviant behaviour in tourism
  • Journal of Travel Research: The sharing economy in tourism and travel: disruptions and innovation in entrepreneurship, employment and business models
  • The Service Industries Journal: Smart services in tourism, hospitality and travel
  • Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Technology: Big Data in Tourism and Hospitality

Programme

The symposium will feature a full-day programme including:

  • Morning sessions where leading academics and journal editors will share their views on the research trends and evolution in the fields of ICT, service management, and tourism, hospitality, events and travel.
  • Afternoon parallel break-out sessions to allow participants to present and discuss their research ideas with peers and develop their research plans.
