Tourism Studies include all aspects of tourism, from the study of the motives and behaviour of tourists themselves, to the operation of the tourism industry, the impact of tourism on the natural and built environment, as well as the economic impacts of tourism. Tourism Studies also include planning and policy making for tourism and the management of the environmental effects of tourism.

BGTR has sought to promote interdisciplinary research with the aim of developing an integrated understanding of the phenomenon of tourism. In doing so, the Group aims to produce research that will be of use to the industry and policy makers alike.

CELTS - the UWE, Bristol Centre for Leisure, Tourism and Society was launched in July 2006 and is pursuing and developing the objectives of BGTR under the leadership of Professor Cara Aitchison.
