04.01.2022 Iso-CHATS #6: The silence: What can we learn from people who don’t like to travel? In this presentation, Professor Can Seng Ooi from the University of Tasmania, will reflect on those that do not like to travel. He observes that the voice for people who do not like to travel is rather silent. These persons do not like to travel for different reasons, ranging from financial pressures, accessibility challenges, induced anxiety to just not interested. This silence reveals how we have tacitly framed tourism, how we have come to imagine modern society, and how we have marginalised groups of people. He will reflect and discuss the implications for the practice community, for researchers, for theory and for ourselves personally.
03.01.2022 UTas is super excited to be involved in this- we are offering 2 FREE Grad Cert courses to Tasmanians in tourism & hospitality who have been affected by COVID-19. Info webinars on the courses begin tonight 5.30pm.
