CFP HACKATHON @ UCF 2019

After the launch and the great success of its first research paper hackathon in 2018, the Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Management (JHTM) is committed to continue its support to tourism and hospitality research by organising a second ‘Paper Hackathon’.

The goal of the hackathon is to support tourism researchers to form partnerships with the aim to develop and pitch for a paper publication on JHTM.

The hackathon will take place during the the 5th World Research Summit for Hospitality and Tourism at the Rosen College of Hospitality Management, Orlando, USA.

To register your participation, please e-mail a one to two page proposal (by 1st December 2019) to the JHTM Editor-In-Chief (Professor Marianna Sigala)
