The Tourism Research Centre is an inter-disciplinary network of academics, researchers and research students who have a particular interest in any aspects of tourism studies.
The Centre was launched in October 2016 and through a variety of its activities, and in particular through this webpage, seminars and workshop series, the Tourism Research Centre aims to:
- stimulate debate
- inspire new collaborative and individual research, consultancy and knowledge transfer projects, publications and funding bids among its members
- attract PhD study level students.
The multi-faceted nature of tourism as an academic field of studies is matched by the members' own varied backgrounds and research interests.
Expertise include
- Tourism policy;
- development and management of tourist destinations (including smart destinations);
- heritage;
- wellness tourism;
- island tourism;
- sustainability issues;
- trails;
- place branding;
- niche tourism (e.g. dark tourism)
