The 4th World Research Summit for Tourism and Hospitality will take place December 8-11, 2017 at UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management in Orlando, USA.

Focusing on the theme ‘Innovation, Partnerships and Sharing’, the Summit will provide an interactive, dynamic and international platform for academics and industry professionals to discuss how to better utilize research outputs for the benefits of the industry, in an innovative and sharing way.

Academic research presentations, for which abstracts are invited by June 16, 2017, will be complemented with key industry practitioners who will highlight industry trends and research gaps from a pragmatic and applied perspective.
