MODUL University Vienna hosts the 45th Annual Meeting of the Tourist Research Center (TRC)
Once again MODUL University Vienna will host an important international meeting on tourism research. From March 25 to 28, 2010 the members of the Tourist Research Center (TRC) will gather at this center for international education and research on Kahlenberg for their annual meeting. Founded in the mid 1960s, the Tourist Research Center is a reputable association of Europe’s most important researchers and consultants. The members of this association have a background in economics and other social sciences, and have demonstrated significant involvement in research in tourism. For each European country, a maximum of three outstanding researchers are allowed to participate in the meeting and invited to present their state of the art research agenda. At this year’s TRC, Austria will be represented by Prof. Josef Mazanec (Vienna University of Economics and Business), Prof. Egon Smeral (Austrian Institute of Economic Research) and Prof. Karl Wöber (MODUL University Vienna).
The ongoing goal of the TRC Annual Meeting is to exchange research experience and discuss guiding principles for the future development of tourism research and policy in Europe. For the first time since TRC was established, Vienna has been chosen as the location for this event, which reinforces the role of Austria's capital city as a major center for research in the area of tourism. Vienna’s tradition as a prime international conference location guarantees that this will be a memorable event.
The choice of MODUL University Vienna as the venue for the event helps to take the meeting in a greener direction. Since at MU Vienna sustainability represents an integral part of employees’ daily workflow throughout which they acknowledge and embrace the urgent need for development strategies that meet the needs of the present and improve the welfare of future generations.
