Academic research is one of the cornerstones of higher education, and research output clearly demonstrates the strength of an academic institution. In its pursuit of excellence, the SHTM encourages amongst its academic staff a robust research culture. It is this drive for excellence that ensures the School retains its leading status.
Of twenty-three recent applications for funding from the General Research Fund administered by the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong, six projects with SHTM faculty members as Principal Investigators have successfully secured funding.
The funded research projects are as follows.
| Principal Investigator | Project Title |
|---|---|
| Dr Eric Chan | Environmental Technologies in the Hotel Industry: A Neo-Institutional Perspective |
| Dr Basak Denizci Guillet | Rate Fences in Spa Revenue Management and Application to Chinese Customers: A Fractional Factorial Design Approach |
| Professor Haiyan Song | Modelling International Demand for Tourism Using the Global Vector Autoregressive Approach |
| Dr Karin Weber | Investigating the Effect of Multiple Service Failure Events on Consumer Evaluations of Strategic Alliance Entities: A Justice Theory Perspective |
| Dr Honggen Xiao | Towards a Community of Learning and Practice: An Evaluation and Promotion of University-Industry Partnerships for Tourism and Hotel Management in Hong Kong |
| Dr Hanqin Zhang-Qiu | The Impact of Climate Change on Tourism Seasonal Demand for Hong Kong Tourism Industry |
Quality research output has long been recognised as one of the School's significant strengths. Leveraging resources already provided and the quality of the SHTM's scholarly output, the entire hospitality and tourism field in Hong Kong, and indeed the region, will benefit for years to come.
