About my research...

I research the travel and tourism industry from the demand side, exploring tourist behaviour, and the supply side, to understand the influence of destination image, tourism marketing, place branding and responsible travel.

How my research can Improve Life

My core research focuses on the influence of destination image on travel, and the role of social media in shaping place image, and destination brand advocacy. I also explore best practices in travel and tourism to advance the sustainability of the industry. Tourism is an important sector in Canada, economically, socially and environmentally. Sustainable tourism holds the potential to improve life in our communities and country.
