Welsh Centre for Tourism Research

WCTR is rapidly developing a reputation as a leading international research centre for critical tourism studies. The Centre - run under the direction of Professor Anne Pritchard -  is home to a burgeoning suite of international projects and networks which focus on the linkages between tourism and sustainable economic development, inequality, injustice and poverty alleviation.

WCTR acts as the focus for the work of a number of research-active staff and over 40 research degree students from countries as diverse as Bangladesh, Egypt, Eire, Ghana, Kenya, Libya, Oman, Spain and the UK.

The Centre has been involved in three major international conferences, Tourism 2002 in Cardiff, Critical Tourism Studies International Conference Dubrovnik, (2005) and Split (2007).
