Biography

My research interests lie in the areas of Consumer Behaviour with a special interest in Service Marketing and Hospitality Management. I have published in premier international journals such as Psychology & Marketing, Annals of Tourism Research, International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management and Tourism Management. I adopt qualitative approaches to study the experiences of people consuming services while travelling. I currently focus on the intersection between gender, culture and travel. Some of my PhD students study tourism development in the Middle East, Emotional labour in Hospitality, and Female tourists travel behaviour.
