Socio-Economic, Psychological, Sociological, and Cultural Drivers of Leisure-Tourism Destinations

5th Bi-Annual Symposium of the International Society of Culture, Tourism, and Hospitality Research

June 4-6, 2007
Charleston, South Carolina, USA

5th CPTHL Symposium Objectives
International Society of Culture, Tourism, and Hospitality Research

Hosted by the College of Charleston and the International Society of Culture, Tourism, and Hospitality Research, on June 4-6, 2007 the 5th CPTHL Symposium will bring together tourism, hospitality, and leisure researchers from around the world to report research, share ideas, and advance consumer psychology and consumer behavior theory in this important economic and social discipline.  Consistent with the theme of destination and hospitality marketing for the 5th CPTHL Symposium, examining the key drivers of consumer consumption of tourism, hospitality, and leisure experiences requires an understanding of targeted consumers’ tastes, preferences, motivations, and perception of value. The challenge of tourism destinations both large and small is to create, promote, and deliver experiences that are multi-dimensional in nature to globally diverse consumers in complex social, cultural, ecological and political environments. The development and application of consumer psychology and consumer behavior theory to destination marketing presents interesting challenges and exciting opportunities for researchers and marketing practitioners.

Submit your paper or abstract by email as an attached MSWORD file to your appropriate regional organizing committee member.
