Dr. Yang Yang delivered an invited talk on a special panel at the Travel and Tourism Research Association (TTRA) Annual Conference on June 15, 2021, focusing on the use of geo-location data in tourism research. In his presentation, Dr. Yang discussed how large-scale mobility and location-based data can be leveraged to capture tourists’ real-time movement patterns, destination interactions, and spatial spillover effects with unprecedented granularity. Drawing on examples from tourism demand analysis, urban mobility, and policy evaluation, he highlighted both the methodological opportunities and ethical considerations associated with geo-location data, emphasizing its growing importance for advancing evidence-based tourism planning and resilience research in a post-pandemic context.
