Consumer Behaviour in Tourism Symposium
The Consumer Behaviour in Tourism Symposium (CBTS) provides an opportunity for tourism researchers and practitioners from all over the world to exchange scientific ideas and results and discuss new and emerging directions in the field.
Key Dates
CBTS is organised by Breda University of Applied Sciences in conjunction with the Competence Centre in Tourism Management and Tourism Economics (TOMTE) at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (Italy).
An additional special edition, CBTS - Emerging Topics 2023, organised by University of Trier, will take place from 7 to 9 December.
”CBTS provided ample opportunity to network with academics researching consumer behaviour in tourism. A combination of inspiring keynote addresses, contextualised research, and industry workshops which focused on exploring the managerial and operational influence of the key thematic areas, made CBTS an invaluable platform for immersing oneself into a broad range of current topics.”
