Our community focuses on producing innovative research in areas such as economic tourism management, sociological and cultural study of food, diversity and inclusivity, sustainable events, marketing and consumer behaviour in the hospitality and tourism industry. 

Our mission is to create an inclusive and supportive environment for all ECRs to create research that positively impacts society and promotes transformative change globally. We aspire to be viewed as a centre of excellence where ECRs are empowered with the skills, confidence and opportunities to become future leaders in academia and beyond. 

Our ECR group at the London Geller College of Hospitality and Tourism values inclusivity and diversity. We understand that these principles strengthen our community and drive creativity and excellence. We are committed to empowering ECRs through comprehensive support, mentorship and opportunities, fostering the next generation of leaders."
