Tropical Cyclones Negatively Impact The Tourism Economy In Coastal Regions, Sergio Alvarez, Arthur Huang

Revenue Management As Competitive Advantage: Keep In House Or Outsourse?, Mehmet Altin

But not all hotels have the skills or resources to implement this process effectively inhouse. Dr. Mehmet Altin of UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management, applies a resource-based view (RBV) to understand how hotel decision makers approach RM: do they invest in internal development or outsource the RM function?

Social Representations Of Space Travel, Asli D. A. Tasci, Alan Fyall, Xiaoxiao Fu

Turning The Tables On Covid-19, Wei Wei

Rosen Research Review

The COVID-19 pandemic all but eviscerated the restaurant industry. Around the world, businesses shut doors. For some this would prove to be forever, and those that did reopen were stifled by strict social-distancing regulations and the challenge of how best to rearrange their servicescapes to meet regulations and still provide an enjoyable dining experience. The big question: how best to do this? Dr. Wei Wei from UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management and her collaborators examined the issues of built density and customer power to uncover a vital piece of the puzzle.

Essential Worker Heroes, Cynthia Mejia

Rosen Research Review

The COVID-19 pandemic brought with it untold disruptions to the hospitality and related services industries, and it also prompted a dramatic shift in public perceptions towards line-level workers. Normally associated with unskilled and ‘dirty’ labor, these workers were embraced as ‘heroes’ by providing essential services in the face of a severe and frightening public health threat. This phenomenon provided a rare opportunity for researchers in the fields of hospitality and psychology to examine how those workers, and the society they served, made sense of this perceptive shift.
