2nd World Research Summit for Tourism and Hospitality<\/a> this Sunday, Dec. 15 though Tuesday, Dec. 17. This three-day global gathering of practitioners, researchers and academics features prominent keynote speakers, panel discussions and break out sessions covering critical topics in tourism and hospitality. Rosen College is uniquely positioned to host this conference in one of the world\u2019s most visited destinations, right in the heart of Orlando\u2019s tourism corridor.<\/p>\n\u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to showcasing Rosen College and showing this international audience why we\u2019re the leading hospitality program in the nation,\u201d said Dr. Abraham Pizam, dean of Rosen College. \u201cMany of the conference delegates are from outside the United States, so it\u2019s also an opportunity to introduce them to Âé¶¹Ó³»´«Ã½ and tell the university\u2019s story as it relates to the Orlando market and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although the conference has an academic focus, even seasoned industry professionals see the benefit of creating a bridge between research and practice through this kind of interactive forum.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe in the industry tend to not step back and reflect often enough,\u201d said Michael Shindler, Executive Vice President of Hotels & Casinos for Hard Rock International, who will participate in a panel discussion on lodging at the upcoming Summit. \u201cThe advantage of the interaction between industry participants and those studying it from an academic perspective is that the academics study in-depth what practitioners don\u2019t have the time or opportunity to do. This interaction can be critical to both parties in informing how we all move forward as an industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to global hospitality and tourism scholars, representatives from major industry brands will be in attendance, including Gatorland, SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Universal Parks & Resorts, Visit Florida, Walt Disney World and Wyndham Vacation Ownership, Inc.<\/p>\n
