Academics undertake a range of ‘cutting edge’ tourism-related research. However, as most of the outcomes from this research are published in academic journals, they are not easily accessed. TRA believes this valuable research should be available to a much wider audience, including industry and the broader community. We have developed the “Academic Tourism Knowledge Library”, which allows you to:
- easily access important, insightful tourism research which you might otherwise miss
- search using keywords
- read the key findings and implications of a range of tourism-related academic studies to help you decide if the research is relevant to you
- Access contact details of the lead academic for each study and details on how to find the research paper if you would like to read the research paper.
