Sustainable Tourism for Communities in Transition (GIS Focus)
Project Description: Currently the Tasmanian School of Business and Economics (TSBE) is engaged in the Sensing Tourist Tracking Research program that involves spatial tracking, movement mapping, and behaviour of tourists while in Tasmania, using GIS technology. This project is the largest of its type ever to be conducted. Within this project, applications are sought for candidates with skills in GIS analysis to assess the impact of tourism marketing campaigns, or the travel patterns of specific cohorts of tourists. The successful candidate will have skills in GIS, data manipulation and visualisation, and spatial data analytics. A keen interest in tourism, travel patterns and the scholarship of tourism are essential. The candidature will begin in February 2017. Further information on the Tourist Tracking project can be found at: http://tourblog.sense-t.org.au/
