Our event, tourism, and sport management faculty are actively involved in a variety of research efforts that help to identify best practices and advance the hospitality industry.
Whether they’re conducting survey research or helping to develop a new tourism product, our researchers are committed to helping communities make the most of their tourism possibilities.
SHHS faculty are working with the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) to conduct research on how Brexit, the U.S. government shutdown, and other mobility disruptions are affecting the travel industry.
They hope to use this knowledge to formulate best practices for companies affected by these problems, and to create innovations that will mitigate their impact.
Our event and tourism researchers are also tackling gender issues in the travel industry. They are studying the barriers encountered by women seeking leadership opportunities and are hoping to develop best practices for corporate policies that support women’s needs for promotion.
SHHS event and tourism researchers use our deep connections and partnerships with local and state governments and hospitality industry corporations to complete their projects and move the industry forward.
