Join us for an informative seminar led by Prof. Cathy HSU, Principal Investigator and School of Hotel and Tourism Management Chair Professor, as we introduce the groundbreaking TOUROMETER developed by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The seminar aims to address the challenges and opportunities faced by policymakers and businesses in acquiring and utilizing public opinions effectively.

With public opinions varying across individuals and time, there is a need for an effective channel for public engagement. The TOUROMETER leverages the rapid development of social media to provide near real-time observation and monitoring of stakeholders' views and emotions. By monitoring customer sentiments and ambivalence, the TOUROMETER facilitates sustainable tourism development both economically and socially.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn about the TOUROMETER and its potential impact on policymaking and business strategies.
