It will conduct research projects that are relevant to the hotel, restaurant, airlines, tourism and related hospitality industries, and take part in policy discussion. Besides, the centre will also disseminate research findings and review frontier knowledge for executives operating in Hong Kong and the Asia Pacific region. Under the guidance of the Advisory Committee on Hotel Management, the centre will work closely with industry executives and launch different research projects. The mode of operation will be similar to the Marketing Science Institute in Boston and the Center for Hospitality Research at Cornell University.
