WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER Welcome to the 27th Annual Graduate Education and Graduate Student Research Conference in Hospitality and Tourism! We are very honoured to have your participation in the Conference, held virtually once again to accommodate the needs of everyone in consideration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the ongoing challenges posed by COVID-19, we have been able to deploy online technology to continue to organise the Conference for the benefit of the entire sector. I am particularly grateful to the Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management at the University of Houston for having organised the Conference for two years in a row. Founded in 1996, the Annual Graduate Education and Graduate Student Research Conference in Hospitality and Tourism has been instrumental in promoting academic and research exchange and furthering research development in the hospitality and tourism field for more than two decades. The Conference has four specific objectives: (1) providing a platform for the exchange of cutting-edge research in the field of hospitality and tourism; (2) fostering a healthy research culture in the field of hospitality and tourism; (3) providing a forum for networking among and between graduate students and faculty members in hospitality and tourism; and (4) serving as a career mart for graduate students who are completing their terminal degrees. Over the years, the Conference has developed into an important research and networking forum for graduate students and faculty in hospitality and tourism. The Annual Graduate Conference is administered by a Standing Committee chaired by myself as the Founding Chairman. Members of the Standing Committee consist of representatives from all sponsoring institutions who are responsible for soliciting and selecting the destination of the Conference each year.

WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE PLANNING & PAPER CHAIRS A sincere virtual welcome to the 27th Annual Graduate Education and Graduate Student Research Conference in Hospitality and Tourism! For a second consecutive year, we are meeting virtually to continue the tradition of this important annual conference hosted again this year by the University of Houston Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. In addition to the always important and insightful student research presentations, keynote and general sessions, this year’s event includes two new pre-conference components: the “Networking Session” for graduate students and the “Meet with the Editors” session for all attendees. Also new this year during the first full day of the conference is a “Game Session” for all attendees to enjoy. With the vision of our Founding Chair, Professor Kaye Chon, this conference has been tremendously successful in sharing knowledge among graduate/undergraduate honor students and faculty from throughout the world. Many of the former student attendees who have participated in this rigorous – and friendly spirited – event return as our colleagues and have come full circle to bring their own graduate students to this experience. It’s rewarding to see! Before things get started, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our academic and corporate sponsors who have contributed greatly in myriad ways to make this conference possible. We would also like to extend our gratitude to the Paper Review Committee and panel members. Finally, we offer a heartfelt “thank you” to all of the graduate and undergraduate student researchers presenting at this virtual forum. We trust that you will enjoy this opportunity to share your research as you prepare yourselves to become hospitality/tourism educators. If you have any specific questions or needs during the next three days, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Congratulations to all our presenters and have a terrific conference!
