Centre for Competitiveness of the Visitor Economy
We are addressing competitiveness issues in the visitor economy across firm, sector and destination levels.
Spotlight on our research
Our research has great impact, and we are proud to highlight our achievements through a series of short films, told by our research authors.

Research aims
We aim to address equality and diversity in employment and conduct studies of future labour markets, productivity, career mobilities, skills, flexible employment and entrepreneurial migration, while examining other aspects of competitiveness at both firm and destination levels, such as advances in destination branding, visitor satisfaction, innovation, revenue management, and risk and disaster impacts.
We also aim to maintain our world-leading position in demand-forecasting research, which provides a scientific foundation to support businesses’ and governments’ decision making to improve their competitiveness.
Research themes


Economic modelling and forecasting

Research theme lead: Dr Jason Chen
This research theme focuses on developing and applying cutting-edge methods in economic analysis and forecasting in the context of tourism, hospitality, transport and events. Members of this theme work on a wide range of areas such as tourism demand, economic impact of the Visitor Economy, firm performance, productivity and tourism competitiveness while pushing the boundaries of econometric, time series and spatial economic modelling and forecasting techniques.
Innovation, entrepreneurship, risk and uncertainty

Research theme lead: Professor Allan Williams
Innovation and entrepreneurship are at the core of this theme. Research on innovation focusses on the process of innovation in the firm, paying particular attention to knowledge and uncertainty, but also addressing the role of innovation in policy areas such as sustainability as well as in academia. Innovation research is strongly linked to investigations of entrepreneurship in the public, private, and third sectors, with gender and migration being important lines of research. Investigations of risk and uncertainty also extend beyond the firm to the analysis of consumer preferences and behaviour.
Future of work and labour mobility

Research theme lead: Dr Tracy Xu
Future of work and labour mobilities are at the core of this theme. Members of this theme investigate labour productivity and wellbeing, migration, gender issues, and technology-enhanced employability of future workforce in the visitor economy. This theme supports research on how work in the visitor economy is changing, the internal and external forces that support the change, and their implications on organisational performance, employee wellbeing and dignity.
Visitor decision-making, behaviour and destination marketing

Research theme lead: Dr Marion Karl
This theme of research focuses on the consumer behaviour side of competitiveness. Research from this theme includes topics such as tourists’ and visitors’ decision-making, tourism experiences, destination choice and influencing factors, tourist and visitor behaviour, or visitor attraction and destination marketing as well as management.

Covid-19 research in hospitality and tourism
Our research aims to understand the needs and requirements of businesses and travellers to be able to return to a new normality when it comes to travelling and the prosperity of businesses.

Organised by
The International Association for Tourism Economics (IATE).
Supported by
Centre for Competitiveness of the Visitor Economy (COVE) of the University of Surrey.
Overview
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on the tourism industry. When the tourist market will recover remains unknown. Accurate forecasting of the full scale of the impact on the tourism industry and market recovery is critical for strategic planning by tourist destinations and tourism-related businesses.
Against this background, the Curated Collection of Annals of Tourism Research on Tourism Forecasting called for a tourism forecasting competition in July 2020. Nineteen researchers, most of them are members of the International Association for Tourism Economics (IATE) from around the world expressed interest and formed three competing teams: Asia Pacific, Europe, and Africa.
Their reports on the forecasting results are published in a special collection of the Curated Collection of Tourism Demand Forecasting of the Annals of Tourism Research.
The purpose of this webinar is to disseminate the forecasting competition results with a view to encouraging further research on tourism demand forecasting during major crises. Three participating teams will present the forecasting methods used and results obtained in the forecasting completion.
