Through its links with the Royal Geographical Society with the Institute of British Geographers (RGS-IBG), this conference aims to provide an interdisciplinary dialogue around the wider aspects of the conference theme and to provide an opportunity for contemporary, tourism and leisure related research issues to be explored. The conference theme provides a platform for many exciting and critical topics that call for discussion where students from all disciplines which locate tourism and/or leisure within its boundaries are welcomed.
The colloquium will be hosted by the University of Surrey Tourism Research Centre (STRC) with the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management (SHTM). STRC and SHTM not only foster inter-disciplinary and creative research pursuits, but the SHTM also holds the number 1 ranking for tourism education in the UK, and is ranked 5th on a global scale for its teaching and research capabilities within the tourism and hospitality disciplines. Combined with the support of the RGS-IBG's Geographies of Leisure and Tourism Research Group (GLTRG), this colloquium promises to provide an engaging and thought-provoking forum with those at the forefront of tourism, leisure and hospitality research.
