EuroCHRIE Budapest - CALL FOR PAPERS: DEADLINE EXTENSION DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND!

NEW FINAL DEADLINE: TUESDAY 15th MARCH (PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS THE DEADLINE FOR FULL PAPERS )

(Please note that if you have already submitted your paper and would like to make use of the extra time, you may re-submit your paper by this extended deadline)

What's Going Well in Hospitality, Tourism and Events?
26-28 October, 2016
Budapest, Hungary


The concept of wellbeing has become an increasing focus of research and academic study as well as industry reports. Numerous studies have attempted to measure the wellbeing, quality of life or happiness of citizens (e.g. Eurofound, OECD, Gallup). Wellbeing or wellness has become an important focus for the hospitality sector too. This includes the wellbeing of employees as well as the happiness and satisfaction of guests. The growth of spa and wellness hotels, as well as specific brands such as 'Healing Hotels of the World' or 'Starwood's Seven Pillars of Wellness' is firm evidence of this.

In addition to papers relating to wellbeing, health, wellness and spas, we are also interested in a broader conceptualisation of wellbeing and would like to consider all themes which relate to the question 'What's going well'? These might include: good practice and positive experiences from education (e.g. staff wellbeing and student satisfaction); guest happiness and satisfaction; quality of life of residents in destinations; innovative and successful research projects and methods. We would also like to know what you think is going well in different areas of your specialism whether it is events, marketing, operations, human resources, finance, revenue and yield management or technology? Our main aim is to collect examples of good and positive practice which can enhance the wellbeing of all those working in, studying, teaching, researching or simply enjoying hospitality, tourism and events!

Our distinguished keynote speakers are (confirmed):

Sally Brown (Higher Education Academy) Engaging students, engaging staff: how can we foster high levels of staff and student motivation to produce excellence in learning and teaching.

Phil Race (University of Plymouth) Making learning happen: inspiring students, in and beyond the lecture room

Jeremy McCarthy (Group Director of Spa for Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group)  The Rise of Wellness in Hospitality

Franz Linser (Global Wellness Summit, co-chair) tba

We invite the submission of research and practice conference papers and/or poster presentations from academics, industry practitioners and postgraduate research students on the following research themes:

Wellbeing, health, wellness and spas
This includes all research on wellbeing, quality of life or happiness of citizens, residents or tourists. Papers can also focus on health tourism destinations, regions or clusters. Research papers relating to spas and wellness hotels or health and wellness tourism are also encouraged, as well as healthy gastronomy.

What's going well in education and teaching?
This can include staff wellbeing and occupational health issues. Research may focus on student satisfaction and experience enhancement in the classroom. It can include placements or internships, student research, as well as examples of good practice from teaching and learning, especially using new technologies.

What's going well in research?
This section welcomes papers that examine good or new practice in research, such as the usage of unusual or innovative approaches or methods.

What's going well in hotels and hospitality?

What's going well in tourism and events?
This section will focus on research relating to tourism and events. Case studies of good practice are encouraged which exemplify good or positive management or marketing of events. This might include issues of sustainability or ethics, as well as sound business practices.

What's going well in your own specialism?
Here, delegates have the chance to present research from any relevant field where they can demonstrate examples of good or positive practice. This can include any areas of business or management (e.g. marketing, operations, human resources, finance, revenue and yield management, etc).
