Student Research Design & Innovation Symposium
Tourism is a key distributor of wealth in many developing countries and yet they still struggle with basic needs like food, adequate shelter, and water. Water poverty is extremely prevalent in already poor locations, and when this situation merges with over-tourism it only gets worse. Tourists consume almost 3-4 times the amount of water than locals. This can be from showers, kitchen appliances, recreational uses, and the drinking supply. Since tourists bring in economic empowerment for these destinations, they are inclined to use however much water they please while the locals suffer. This creates a cycle of poverty that begins …

Week 8 Research Article: Implementation Of Robotic Automation In Foodservice, Jessica Minard
Hospitality Graduate Student Scholarship
Studies have been conducted to examine the recent increase in the implementation of robotic automation in foodservice. These studies conclude that serving robots do exist currently, primarily in countries outside of the United States. In addition, studies suggest that customers have a better customer service experience with serving robots if they go into the interaction with a positive perception. Therefore, the implementation of robotic automation in the foodservice industry will possibly continue to be implemented in countries where it has not yet currently been brought to the markets.
