Research at the Centre will be conducted in various focus areas of the industry such as how the industry will move on after the pandemic in terms of business, new ideas, strategies, the food cycle, extensive use of plastic, etc. Prof David Foskett (MBE), who is the Chairman of IHC London and was previously the Dean and Head of the London School of Hospitality and Tourism at the University of West London, will be heading the IIHM Global Centre for Tourism and Hospitality Research. Regarding the newly launched research centre, Prof Foskett said,“We need research because post pandemic, the world will not be the same. We have to understand the new technologies, customer service, employment patterns and the new expectations of the customers post pandemic. These are some of the issues that we need to research because tourism is here to stay, although in a very different form and tourism has so much to offer to us as humanity. The research conducted at the IIHM Global Centre for Tourism and Hospitality Research is going to help us understand how to improve hygiene and processes in the tourism and hospitality industry in the post-pandemic world.”
