This week, try something a little more manageable:

🎯 Set a small focus. Choose one clear goal that would genuinely move your research forward. Momentum beats an impossible to-do list.

💡 Be curious… again. Revisit something you thought you understood. A new perspective, stakeholder, context, or question might completely change how you see it.

🤝 Reach out. Send that message you’ve been meaning to send. One conversation can become a research idea, collaboration, mentorship, or friendship.

🌱 Find inspiration in the real world. Hospitality and tourism happen all around us. Observe the people, places, technologies, experiences, and problems that make our field worth studying.

🚩 Celebrate progress. Finished one section? Found the scale you’ve been searching for? Finally figured out why PROCESS keeps yelling at you? 😂 Take the win.

❤️ Be kind to yourself. Research takes time. Some weeks produce publications. Others produce one decent paragraph and a lot of coffee. Both count.

Research has no borders, and neither does curiosity.

Have a wonderful week!

🔴 Weekend Motivation

Weekend reminder: Your research will survive if you close the laptop. We promise. 😄

We spend so much of the week reading, writing, analyzing, revising, teaching, answering emails, and occasionally wondering why that manuscript looked much better yesterday. 😂

So this weekend, try a different kind of productivity:

😴 Get real rest. Not “I’ll just check my email quickly” rest. Actual rest.

🔭 Look around. Be a tourist in your own town. Hospitality and tourism researchers have the perfect excuse to call exploring “professional development.” 😉

❤️ Reflect. Think about how far you’ve come instead of immediately focusing on everything still left to do.

🛤️ Be open. A conversation, place, meal, event, or unexpected experience might spark an idea no literature search ever could.

☕ Do something you genuinely love. No research objective. No theoretical contribution. No reviewer comments. Just because it makes you happy.

Our work studies experiences, people, places, connection, leisure, and well-being.

Maybe occasionally we should experience those things ourselves. ❤️

Rest. Explore. Reflect. Recharge. Repeat.

Wishing our hospitality and tourism research community a relaxing, joyful, and inspiring weekend!

🔴 Wednesday Research Tips

Good research takes curiosity, persistence, critical thinking and, depending on the week, a suspicious amount of coffee. ☕😄

For this Wednesday, here are a few reminders to keep your research moving:

🔭 Zoom out. Step away from the details for a moment. Where does your study fit within the bigger hospitality and tourism landscape?

🔎 Become a trend spotter. Follow industry developments, emerging technologies, changing traveler behaviors, and global challenges. Today’s headline could become tomorrow’s research question.

💭 Think beyond the obvious. Challenge what the field already assumes to be true. Sometimes “But what if…?” is the beginning of the most interesting project.

⚙️ Make it useful. Ask how your research could create value beyond the journal article. Could it help an educator teach differently, a manager make a better decision, or a destination solve a problem?

💡 Embrace the messy middle. Data refusing to cooperate? Manuscript suddenly making no sense? Reviewer comment requiring three rereads? Welcome to research. Confusion, revision, and rethinking are part of the process.

🚩 Celebrate progress. Finished a draft? Found the article you’ve been searching for? Finally fixed that analysis? Count it. Big projects are built from small victories.

And if none of that works today, apparently the JHTE research assistant in the graphic recommends closing the laptop and taking a nap. 🐈😻

Stay curious. Keep questioning. Make an impact.

Happy Wednesday!

🔴 Monday Motivation

New Monday. New week. But maybe we don’t need another reminder to “work harder.” We researchers have that part covered. 😄 Instead, how about approaching this week a little differently?

📸 Be a research tourist. Wander outside your usual journals, theories, and disciplines. The idea you need might be hiding somewhere you normally wouldn’t look.

💬 Ask a better question. Before worrying about the perfect model or sophisticated analysis, ask yourself: Is this a question actually worth answering?

🗺️ Design your own path. There is no universal formula for meaningful research. Your journey does not have to look like anyone else’s.

☕ Fuel what matters. Protect your focus, energy, and well-being. Exhaustion is not a research methodology. 😉

💡 Be a light. Don’t let your findings end at publication. Share them, translate them, teach them, and help them reach the people who can actually use them.

Hospitality and tourism are constantly evolving, and our research has an opportunity to evolve with them.

So this week, perhaps the goal isn’t more.

Maybe it’s one better question, one meaningful step, and one idea with the potential to make a difference. ❤️

Here’s to curiosity, purpose, and research that matters. Have a wonderful week!

Monday has arrived. Your inbox knows it. Your unfinished manuscript definitely knows it. 😄 But before adding another ten things to the research to do list, maybe this week is about thinking differently rather than doing more.

🔀 Change your perspective. Look at your research through someone else’s eyes. A guest, employee, resident, manager, policymaker, or community member may reveal the question you’ve been missing.

🧩 Connect the dots. Put two ideas together that normally don’t belong in the same conversation. Some of the most interesting research begins with, “Wait… has anyone looked at these together?”

✍️ Write one brave sentence. Forget perfect. Write the sentence you’ve been avoiding. One imperfect sentence can become a paragraph, then a page, and eventually a manuscript.

🔭 Look for the story. Behind every coefficient, theme, and data point is a human experience. Don’t let the statistics make you forget the people.

✅ Celebrate micro milestones. Finished a paragraph? Cleaned the dataset? Finally understood Reviewer 2’s comment? 😂 Count it. Progress is progress.

Research isn’t a race to see who finishes first. It is a journey powered by curiosity, resilience, and a stubborn willingness to keep asking better questions.

So this Monday, don’t worry about conquering the entire mountain.

Just move one step forward. ❤️

Have a purposeful, curious, and inspired week!

📸 Throwback to ICHRIE! ❤️

A little to one of our favorite moments from the recent ICHRIE Conference: getting the JHTE editorial team together in the same room!

In a world of emails, manuscripts, reviewer reports, deadlines, and more emails 😄, there is something special about finally sitting around a table, exchanging ideas, reflecting on where JHTE is headed, and simply enjoying time together as colleagues.

We talked about the journal, our authors and reviewers, hospitality and tourism education, and how we can continue making JHTE an even stronger platform for research that matters.

But perhaps the best part? The people behind the journal. ❤️

Thank you to our editorial team for the time, energy, expertise, and countless behind-the-scenes contributions that keep JHTE moving forward.

Already looking forward to the next time we can all be in the same room. Until then… back to the emails! 😂📩

Another Monday. Another inbox full of emails. Another manuscript quietly judging us from an open tab. 😄 But research was never supposed to be about having the perfect week. It is about staying curious enough to keep asking, persistent enough to keep building, and purposeful enough to remember why the work matters.

This week:

🕊️ Be curious on purpose. Ask the “what if?” question that feels a little unconventional. That may be exactly where an interesting study begins.

🔎 Read beyond your field. Psychology, technology, sociology, design, health, or even engineering might hold the missing piece to your next hospitality or tourism research idea.

🧱 Build small, build smart. One paragraph. One analysis. One revised hypothesis. One good hour of focused work. Small progress compounds.

🗼 Stay grounded in your why. When revisions, rejections, and deadlines get loud, remember what made the question worth studying in the first place.

🎈 Dream big, then share it. Talk about the idea you have been keeping in your notebook. Research becomes stronger when ideas meet other perspectives.

And perhaps the most important Monday reminder:

You don’t need a perfect week. You need intention, consistency, and enough curiosity to keep going.

Here’s to new questions, small wins, unexpected ideas, and research that makes hospitality and tourism a little better than we found it. ❤️

🔴 Monday Motivation

A new week is a reminder that meaningful research isn’t built in giant leaps. It’s built through small moments of curiosity, reflection, and persistence.

This week, challenge yourself to think differently:

🧭 Reconnect with your purpose. Take a few minutes to remember why you started this research journey. Let your “why” guide your priorities.

📸 Capture everyday inspiration. A guest interaction, a travel experience, a conversation, or even a headline could spark your next research question.

🛤️ Choose an unfamiliar path. Read outside your discipline or explore a methodology you’ve never considered. Innovation often begins where comfort ends.

🌱 Protect your research well-being. Rest, recharge, and create space to think. Your best ideas deserve your best energy.

🌍 Visualize your impact. Imagine how your work could improve organizations, destinations, education, or the lives of the people who experience hospitality every day.

Remember…

You don’t need to have every answer this Monday.

You simply need the courage to take the next meaningful step.

Wishing our hospitality and tourism research community a week filled with fresh perspectives, purposeful work, and discoveries that make a lasting impact.

Let’s make this week count!

🔴 Monday Motivation

A new week isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters most.

As researchers, we often chase the next deadline, revision, or dataset. But meaningful impact is built through consistent, intentional actions that move our ideas forward.

This week, try something different:

🔎 Be a trend detective. Explore one emerging trend in hospitality or tourism and ask yourself, What research questions haven’t been asked yet?

💌 Express gratitude. Send a quick thank-you message to a co-author, mentor, reviewer, or student. Strong research communities are built on meaningful relationships.

🧩 Cross-pollinate your thinking. Read an article from another discipline and challenge yourself to apply one concept to your own research.

🎯 Focus on one micro-goal. Instead of trying to complete an entire project, identify one task that creates real momentum and finish it.

📢 Amplify your voice. Share an insight, a question, or a recent finding with your network. Your perspective might spark someone else’s next great idea.

Remember…

You don’t need the perfect plan to begin. You simply need the curiosity to explore, the courage to start, and the discipline to keep going.

Wishing our global hospitality and tourism research community a week filled with fresh ideas, meaningful collaborations, and purposeful progress.

Let’s make this week count!
