Research Philosophy
My research philosophy is grounded in connecting academic theory with real-world problems in tourism and hospitality. I am particularly interested in research capable of generating practical implications for tourism businesses, destinations, educational institutions, policymakers, industry professionals, and local communities.
I believe tourism research should extend beyond theoretical contribution and generate practical knowledge that can support a more sustainable, technologically responsible, inclusive, and resilient tourism industry.
