Contemporary Research In Hospitality & Tourism - The primary objective of this track is to provide a forum for reporting "state-of-the-art" research in hospitality and tourism, with an emphasis on innovative developments in concepts, models, theories, and/or research methods.
This track is open to papers based on completed research studies by graduate students in either master's or doctoral programs, and undergraduate honors students. Papers based on completed master's theses, doctoral dissertations, or honors/class projects fall into this category.
Accepted papers in this category will be eligible for the "Conference Paper Awards.” To be selected, the paper must solidly demonstrate proper research design, pertinent data collection methods and advanced levels of relevant data analyses, have a comprehensive literature review, and exhibit a possible solution to real-world problems. Students must submit an Extended Abstract (2500 words including tables/figures, but excluding references) by the deadline (Wednesday, September 15, 2010, 24:00 Central Time, USA) to be considered for Track 1; students who do not submit an Extended Abstract will not qualify their paper for Track 1 consideration. Final full papers or extended abstracts for Track 1 must be turned in by the deadline (Wednesday, November 17, 2010, 24:00 Central Time, USA), or they will not be part of the conference program or published in the Conference Proceedings.
