Tourism and Hospitality section

The tourism and hospitality industry plays an important role in the world economy and significantly contributes to the global employment market. IIF has established a Tourism and Hospitality Section (THS) to enhance the impact of tourism and hospitality forecasting in academia and industries globally. The THS is a community composed of academics and practitioners interested in various aspects of tourism and hospitality forecasting.

THS will organize special sessions at ISFs to build a platform for tourism and hospitality forecasters to present their latest research to a global audience and to inspire research ideas and collaborations by discussions with researchers from different disciplines. THS is more than happy to host early career researchers and PhD students who represent the next-generation of forecasters by attending and presenting their studies.

THS welcomes researchers and practitioners from across the world to work together on tourism and hospitality forecasting.
