University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Mānoa School of Travel Industry Management<\/a> Assistant Professor Junwook Chi<\/strong><\/a> received the Best Paper Award at the 2016 Global Tourism and Hospitality Conference in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

His paper, “Asymmetric tourist responses to own- and cross-price changes: Evidence from U.S.<\/abbr> tourism demand for the UK<\/abbr>, France and Italy,” investigates how tourists from different countries respond to price increases and decreases. For example, the research revealed that Italian visitors are much more sensitive to price decreases than visitors from the United Kingdom and France.<\/p>\n

“I am honored and grateful to receive this prestigious award,” said Chi. “I hope it helps build an international reputation of the TIM<\/abbr> School and UHM as a strong research institute.”<\/p>\n
