Organisers:

Educators, students, and practitioners are invited to a pioneering conference that focuses on cutting-edge developments occurring in the nexus of the tourism and retail management fields. The Tourism and Retail Management Conference (TRCM) will be held in Macao SAR, China on 3-4 December 2018. The Conference will be hosted by the Institute for Tourism Studies, Macao (IFT), and jointly organized with the College of Hospitality, Retail and Sport Management, University of South Carolina, USA, and Nankai University Collage of Tourism and Service Management, China.

Unifying theme

The theme of the conference is “Advances in Tourism and Retail Services”. The dramatic, rapid, and concurrent growth of tourism and retail industries creates both tremendous opportunities and serious challenges, forcing organizations and communities to ponder many questions requiring serious investigation and debate. If your current practice, interest, or research touches upon this or other related theme, we invite you to join the stimulating discussion and debates that TRMC will stage for this purpose. See you in Macao!
