In order for a community\u2019s hospitality and tourism industry to be successful the public\/private collaboration among residents and organizations needs to be in sync and well-orchestrated. However, specific tourism industry research such as visitor profiles, tourism economic impact studies, hotel trend analyses, and tourism marketing and branding assessments are needed for each community to successfully compete in the marketplace. This interdisciplinary team of 13 tenure\/tenure track faculty and affiliated service and research faculty who collectively have considerable experience in hospitality and tourism research will implement the UGA HOS<\/u><\/strong>pitality and T<\/u><\/strong>ourism Research Initiative (UGA HOST Research Initiative<\/strong>). The primary goal of the UGA HOST Research Initiative is to provide comprehensive hospitality and tourism research support that will enhance and enrich the ongoing community public engagement efforts. Faculty and staff researchers from Agricultural and Applied Economics (AAEC), Hospitality and Food Industry Management (HFIM), Parks, Recreation, and Tourism (PRTM), Landscape Architecture (LAND), Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant, and Public Service and Outreach will organize and prioritize a research agenda that supports UGA Extension, UGA Public Service and Outreach, and the Center of Agribusiness and Economic Development. Our initiative will form a group of hospitality and tourism content experts who will provide valuable and industry nuanced information to UGA Extension, UGA Public Service and Outreach, Center for Agribusiness and Economic Development, and other UGA hospitality and tourism publicly engaged programs. Research results conducted by the team will be used to support applications to larger federally and industry supported hospitality and tourism grant programs which engage hospitality and tourism efforts at the local, state, and regional community levels.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”527″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
