We curate cutting-edge academic research on key topics like data analytics, labor, AI, finance, sustainability, real estate, and more, distilling the findings into actionable insights tailored specifically for hospitality businesses.

Our mission is to equip leaders and their teams with the essential knowledge and tools to tackle critical business challenges, make informed decisions, solve problems, and stay ahead in an ever-evolving industry.

Through our publications and signature events, we go beyond sharing insights—we foster connections. By bringing together industry leaders, academic scholars, students, and alumni, we create a dynamic global network dedicated to advancing the hospitality and travel sectors through research and collaboration.

Partner with us to access the latest research, engage with innovative leaders, and actively shape the future of hospitality. Together, we can ensure that research continues to drive meaningful progress in hospitality.
