Members of the discussion panel
This panel brings together leading professionals representing all major tourism related sectors (hospitality, events, travel and transport, tour operators and intermediaries) to discuss the future of our industry. By reflecting on the past, the panel members would provide us with their learnings from the COVID-19 crisis as well as enlighten us about their re-starting strategies. The co-chairs of the panel will also discuss with the panellists about what a ‘new’ industry-academia engagement model might be and how to better integrate industry with academia and vice versa to co-create the next generation of tourism research and human capital. The discussions of the panel will be enlightened and fuelled by the latest industry data provided by McKinsey and STR. The conference participants will also have the opportunity to set their questions to the panel members.
The discussion panel will help tourism managers, policy makers and educators alike to obtain a better understanding of the new realities, competitive and operating standards of the tourism industry. The panel will also strive to identify and set new ways in which industry and academia can collaborate and co-create ‘better’ value in the tourism field.
Wednesday 10 February 16:00 - 17:00 (AEDT)
This panel session brings together editors of top journals representing a variety of tourism related sectors and disciplines including management, marketing, events, destinations, tourism, hospitality and technology. This session will allow delegates to ask anything they ever wanted to know about journals, editors and publications but were too afraid to ask. Journal editors will discuss research priorities of their respective journals, while the panel chair will raise questions about the implications of COVID-19 on research. Participants will have the opportunity to pose questions to the editors and learn how to become engaged with their journals.
