Laurie Murphy

16 Sep 2019 - 31 Jul 2022

The aim of the Townsville Regional Visitor Survey would be to form a cooperative of regional tourism business to build a research tool that provides local tourism businesses and destination stakeholders with access to data on the profiles, preferences and satisfaction of visitors to the Townsville region. It would also provide specific information on the performance of tourism products and industry sectors within visitor markets. This localised information would be specific to the needs of Townsville businesses and would supplement the data collected through International Visitor Surveys/National Visitor Surveys from Tourism Research Australia.

The aim of the Knowledge Cluster is to form a co-operative data collection and sharing network comprised of stakeholders in the region, including a range of tourism operators working in partnership with the College of Business, Law and Governance at James Co o k University and facilitated by Townsville Enterprise (TEL) as a key agent for knowledge transfer and dissemination to its members. The prime focus of the network will be the development and implementation of an online visitor survey which will provide destination stakeholders with real-time access to data on the profile, preferences and satisfaction of visitors to the region. In addition, market intelligence reports which provide data insights will be disseminated by TEL via its membership base, and two tourism futures workshops - which present detailed data analysis and expert knowledge of JCU tourism academics on global tourism trends - will ensure that the visitor data collected is transferred into knowledge which can facilitate tourism product innovation in the region.

Smart Islands Program: Fostering Collaboration between Australians and Polynesians (Old ID 26900)

Stephane Le Queux

01 Jun 2020 - 31 Jul 2024

This project primarily aims at contributing to the French Polynesian Smart Islands program, a spearhead initiative of the Polynesian Government. Research wise, the objective is to focus on two of the four core pillars of the program: Tourism and the Circular Economy. While applied research and transfer of expertise remain the catalyst of our contribution as a team, the project also involves broader aspects: education to issues specific to the Pacific (e.g. climate change) and student exchanges (DFTA NCP); commercial relations through the French Polynesia Regional Group and institutional partnership with Tahiti Business School, of key importance to diplomatic funding.
