We identify and initiate research projects critical to the Centre’s mission, conduct theoretical and applied research grounded on practical relevance, and communicate effective tourism planning, development and management practices based on sound theories and principles.
Our activities include conducting policy and policy-review studies (commissioned or otherwise), monitoring and evaluation studies, polling and opinion surveys, support for academic research; communication via organizing seminars, workshops and conferences, publication, communication and dissemination of research findings, as well as research design and administration.
