The Travel and Tourism Research Association\u2019s 2019 European Chapter Conference will be hosted by Bournemouth University Department of Tourism and Hospitality in Bournemouth from Monday 8th\u00a0to Wednesday 10th\u00a0April 2019.

The theme of the conference is\u00a0Tourism in the Era of Connectivity<\/strong>, which covers a broad range of themes to ensure that we are inclusive of the widest range of tourism research.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nPeople-to-people connectivity is an essential aspect of tourism; bringing people from all aspects of life together to meet, share moments and explore cultures, resources and experiences. Connectivity brings us together through shared routes, accessibility, communication, and experiences in different environments and destinations. Increasingly, global society is becoming more connected, facilitating opportunities for exchange and interaction, bringing both opportunities and challenges. Tourism is changing dramatically in the era of connectivity.<\/p>\n

Advanced technology enables users to amalgamate information and big data from various sources on their mobile devices, personalise their profile through applications and social networks, and interact dynamically with their surroundings and context. Tourism professionals increasingly use technologies and networking to bring different stakeholders together to co-create value for all. The conference will connect the different concepts of connectivity, personalisation, tourism development and marketing towards co-creation of the tourism experience. It will explore how these experiences can support the co-creation of value for all stakeholders and address a range of components of connectivity.<\/p>\n

Coastal Tourism;\u00a0Tourism Marketing;\u00a0Economics and Planning;\u00a0Culture and Heritage;\u00a0Hospitality Innovations;\u00a0Digital Tourism;\u00a0Sustainability and Wildlife;\u00a0Gender, Accessibility and Inclusion; Tourism Management; Overtourism; Tourism and Philosophy; Special Interest and Niche Tourism; Spiritual, Religious and Pilgrimage Tourism; Events and Leisure; Experience and Co-creation; Small Business and Entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n
