As a pre-conference event, APTA annual conference provides a workshop for graduate students to interactively discuss their on-going thesis with peers, colleagues, and leading supervisors and scholars in the field. Graduate students at all stages are encouraged to participate. If a research proposal is accepted, the student will have about 15 minutes presentation time, and 15 minutes Q &A time and feedbacks from scholars.
This special session enables graduate students to share and develop their research ideas in a critical but encouraging environment, get feedback from leading scholars in the hospitality and tourism field, explore research topics and issues for future research, and build relationships with other students and scholars from around the world.
