Funded Activity Summary

An interdisciplinary framework for place-based research and its impact on the tourist industry. The project situates Australian research at the heart of an interdisciplinary inquiry into the understanding of place, and its socio-cultural analysis. It promotes national research on the interpretation of place in social analysis, and the publications produced respond to commercial needs for high-level interpretative place-based studies in the tourism industry. The generation of intellectually rigorous knowledge capital for outbound educational tour operators locates Australia at the intellectual cutting edge of scholarly content for educational tourism and for heritage organizations worldwide. The project is explicitly designed to provide early career training, with opportunities for research on the tourist industry.
