Call for Papers
The 8th CPTHL Symposium
Consumer Psychology of Tourism, Hospitality and Leisure Research
“Choice, Behavior and Consumption in Tourism, Hospitality and Leisure”
Location / Dates: Istanbul – Turkey / 02 – 05 June 2013
Submission Deadline: Full paper (no more than 5,000 words) – 01 February 2013
Over the past decades, the study of consumer behavior has been widely integrated into the body of tourism and leisure research. A large number of researchers have been involved in an attempt to assess the relevance and to test the validity of consumer theories/models in this context. Consumer behavior nowadays represents the major research stream in marketing as product choices and consumption are key to a better comprehension of human beings and to business success. It is not surprising then that many conferences and organisations have established a specific track on expanding the knowledge of consumer behavior in tourism and leisure.
The CPTHL Symposium, launched 15 years ago, has been the first one to develop such a strong focus on consumer behavior in the field of tourism and leisure from both theoretical and practical perspectives. After a series of 7 successful symposia held throughout the World, Istanbul will host the event in 2013. We call authors and researchers to send their contributions related to any topic in line with choice, behavior and consumption in tourism, hospitality and leisure settings. We particularly welcome paper submissions addressing issues such as:
- implemented strategies designed to influence tourism and leisure behaviors;
- laboratory and field experiments about the impacts of tourism and leisure pursuits on individuals and household preferences;
- consumer satisfaction and/or complaining behavior involving tourism and leisure experiences;
- cross-cultural research on the impact of core values in tourism and leisure behaviors;
- individual and collective identity construction and expression through tourism and leisure consumption;
- the impact of ICT developments on tourists’ decision-making and consumption processes;
- CCT (Consumer Culture Theory) approaches for a richer understanding of tourism and leisure choices and behaviors.
