Bournemouth University Department of Tourism and Hospitality is pleased to
invite you to the international conference on The Visitor Economy:
Strategies and Innovations, organised in collaboration with our global
partners.
The conference brings together leading academics and industry researchers
to exchange and share their experiences, knowledge and ideas on all
aspects of the visitor economy. In addition to our conference scientific
sessions, we would like to invite you to visit Bournemouth. We look
forward to welcoming you at Bournemouth University.
The visitor economy includes all activities which contribute to visitors¹
experiences. At the core are the components of the tourism product, such
as accommodation, food, restaurants, transport and attractions. The
concept, however, is much broader as the economy caters for the needs of
all visitors, not just tourists. It embraces all activities,
infrastructure and services provided to make each visitor's experience
possible. To create a successful visitor economy, it is necessary to
manage each individual component of the economy efficiently with a focus
on the needs of visitors.
This makes the sector a complex one. Businesses are constantly introducing
innovations to maintain their competitive advantages. These strategies and
innovations are used to build resilience into destinations and businesses
to improve their international competitiveness. These may be achieved by
implementing innovations leading to cost reduction, improvement in
productivity, improvement in the quality of product and the creation of
new products or better delivery systems.
