About APF 2011

APF 2011

Singapore has been selected to host the 2011 Asia Pacific Forum for Graduate Students’ Research in Tourism. Since its establishment in 2002, the Asia Pacific Forum for Graduate Students’ Research in Tourism has provided a stage for graduate students to present their findings and have an opportunity for students to network. The conference has successfully been held in Macao, Busan, Beijing, Hawaii, Bangkok, Xiamen (China), Shah Alam (Malaysia), Seoul (Korea), and Beppu (Japan) and UNLV Singapore is proud and honored to be the host for 2011.

The aim of this conference is to provide a "research forum" among post-graduate students and faculty members engaged in post-graduate teaching and research in hospitality and tourism programs in the Asia Pacific region. The focus of the forum is to facilitate the exchange of information through research and to provide networking opportunities amongst forum participants to foster collaborative research and academic exchange. This forum will feature keynote presentations from academic and industry leaders in tourism and hospitality, as well as refereed papers and poster presentations from conference participants. 

To be kept up-to-date with the 2011 conference, please sign up for the  APF newsletter.
