Dear Colleagues,

 

My apologies for cross-posting.

 

Building on the success of our first two ERPBSS conferences in 2011 and 2013, I’m pleased to invite you to our 3rd International ERPBSS conference in Dubai this November organized by Middlesex University Dubai.

 

Please find attached the CFP for the “TOURISM and HOSPITALITY” Track.

 

Please do forward on to your networks.

 

I look forward to welcoming you to Dubai!

 

Kind Regards,

Cody

 

 

 

Middlesex University Dubai takes great pleasure in announcing the Third International Conference on Emerging Research Paradigms in Business and Social Sciences (ERPBSS-2015). For the nearly 200 delegates representing about 100 international academic institutions the First (2011) and Second (2013) International Conference on ERPBSS provided a forum for inter-disciplinary dialogue and forms of scholastic communication that transcended disciplinary and subject-specific boundaries.

 

In the Third International Conference ERPBSS 2015 we seek to explore “What’s Next?”. The world faces incredibly complex changes that shape our collective futures. We live in a time of increased mobility and connectedness, as forces of globalization and technological change are redefining the economic, social, political, and physical systems of the world. Inevitably, ideas and knowledge are transcending their traditional disciplinary and geographic boundaries. While this transformation offers increasing opportunities for innovation, it also contributes to increasingly complex global and local challenges that must be met with increasing attention to a more sustainable future.

 

The eight tracks of the ERPBSS 2015 Conference are:

 

1) Accounting, Finance and Economics

2) Contemporary Psychology

3) Education Training and Development

4) Information and Communication Technology

5) International Law and International Relations

6) Management and Marketing

7) Media, Journalism, and Communication

8) Tourism and Hospitality

 

Through these tracks the conference intention is to bring together perspectives from multiple disciplinary and epistemological perspectives. The design of the conference will provide wider opportunities for dialogue than conferences with narrower scopes. Additionally, this year we are launching the “Research Matters” visual paper session, which offers delegates an opportunity to engage more in-depth with presenters. We also invite delegates to submit proposals for Organised Symposium around a specific topic.

 

Track 8: Tourism and Hospitality

The tourism and hospitality track aims to provide a forum for international educators, scholars, researchers, industry professionals, policy-makers and graduate students to evaluate emerging paradigms and discuss pioneering practices within the broader tourism and hospitality field. We are seeking conceptual and/or empirical-based papers that seek to address the changing nature of the tourism and hospitality industries. This track will thus attempt to foster progressive approaches within tourism and hospitality studies, rather than to simply reproduce well-rehearsed empirical models and conceptual applications. The overall aim of this track is to present a new agenda for future research and theoretical exposition.

Although we are open to any submission that is aligned to the goals of the conference and this track, we do encourage submissions relating to the following themes:

 

·         Emerging topics in tourism mobilities

·         Tourism and crisis: natural disaster, conflict, terrorism, security concerns.

·         Tourism, citizenship and mobility: the rights and responsibilities of tourists

·         Technological innovations and the tourism and hospitality industries

·         Sustainable practices and HR issues in sustainable tourism

·         Climate Change, environment, natural resources and tourism.

·         Festival and event industries: emerging trends

·         Hospitality environment: new concepts, developments and innovations

·         Psychological approaches to tourism behavior

·         Co-created and hybrid experiences in the tourism and hospitality

·         Tourism and the cultural industries: contributions from the social sciences

·         Sport and activity tourism: impacts, challenges, and future developments

·         Tourism and hospitality promotion, product formulation and marketing initiatives

·         Working in the tourism and hospitality industries: social and cultural issues

·         Islamic hospitality and halal tourism

·         Alternative tourism: Volunteer tourism, responsible tourism, ethical travel, fair trade.

·         Emerging issues in tourism and hospitality education and training

·         Re-emerging disciplinary research in tourism from the Social Sciences
