Appendix A
Institute for Tourism Research (INTOUR) Report for the period August 1 – October 31 2010
Institute Director: Professor Andrew Holden
Introduction
INTOUR is the newest UoB Research Institute, officially reporting from the 1 August 2010. It is thus in an early formative stage with the first informal meeting of INTOUR members having taken place on 23 September 2010 and the first board meeting scheduled for 10th November 2010. Four key thematic foci of coalescence are recognised:
-
Environment and sustainable development
-
Economic impact and regeneration
-
Heritage and cultural interpretation
-
Social inclusion and community cohesion
It is intended that research groups will be developed around these themes to give focus to research, consultancy income generation and progress towards the REF.
Members of INTOUR were previously part of ISPAR, hence the inclusion of this appendix in the ISPAR annual report.
Staffing
The staffing of INTOUR presently correlates to the Division of Tourism (DoT) with new staff being added as links are made to other parts of the university. As at October 2010, INTOUR has 11 FTE staff: Professors Andrew Holden and Keith Holllinshead; Dr. Sally Everett; Dr. Silvanos Gwiranda; Dr. Nazia Ali; Dr. Sherif Elroubi; Dr. Petia Petrova; Dr Davis Barasa; Dr Susan Slocum; Dr. Carol Tie; Denise Cardwell plus 9 research students. Seven of these staff have been in post for a year or less and subsequently require support to develop their research careers.
DoT went through a period of major change last year as it transferred from the Business School to the Faculty of Sport and Education as was on the 1 August 2009. Several staff, Professor Peter Mason, Professor Tony Seaton, Dr. Dorota Ujma, and Sean Gammon left the Division. Two new staff Dr. Ramesh Durbarry and Dr. Adi Weidenfeld also started and left during the course of the year. In this flux of change of personnel and organisational practice, the remaining staff were subsequently predominantly concerned with teaching, administration and student welfare, with research being marginalised.
Research Bids
Although INTOUR has existed since only the 1 August 2010, staff who are now members of the Institute were involved in the following research bids as detailed in Table 1 during the last academic year. As stated in the last paragraph these research bids were submitted in a pressurised environment of personnel and organisational change.

Comment on research bids
The success rate on these bids is very low which is attributable to two principal factors:
-
A lack of stability in personnel and organisational practice which restricted available resources, especially the establishment of partnerships and time for bid writing; and
-
A lack of a strategy of research themes and focus, resulting in an ad hoc approach to bids.
PhD Awards 2009/10

QR related projects
INTOUR is in receipt of QR funding based upon the return from the last RAE submission. The following QR related projects have been identified for development in 2010/2010: (i) Early career research projects; (ii) Research culture development; (iii) International conference presentations leading to journal articles; (iv) Visiting professor programme; (v) Writing fellowships; (vi) United Nations World Tourism Organisation Research (UNWTO) recognition; and (vi) EU bidding development.
Aims for 2010/2011
Given the embryonic status of INTOUR, there is a need to secure a more solid foundation during 2010/2011. Key components to achieve this include:
-
Raising the internal/external profile of the Institute through networking; conference presentations; attaining UNWTO affiliation; and development of a research seminar series (a fully functioning website has now been developed);
-
Increasing income levels through consultancy activity;
-
Increasing the success rate of research bids and raising the income level of externally funded research;
-
Increasing the number of international fee-paying research students;
-
Development of a strategy for staff development to the next REF; and
-
Creating a thriving research environment.
