Founded in 2015, the Tourism & Leisure Studies Research Network is brought together to explore the economic, cultural, and organizational aspects of tourism and leisure. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.
The Eighth International Conference on Tourism & Leisure Studies calls for research addressing the following annual themes and special focus:

2023 Special Focus – Creative Genius and Cultural Tourism
Theme 1: Changing Dimensions of Contemporary Tourism
Theme 2: Changing Dimensions of Contemporary Leisure
Theme 3: Tourism and Leisure Industries
Theme 4: Critical Issues in Tourism and Leisure Studies
