Temple University recently hosted the Third Temple Sport, Tourism, and Hospitality Analytics Case Competition, chaired by Dr. Yang Yang and generously sponsored by CoStar STR. The event brought together undergraduate and graduate students from Temple University and Penn State University for another successful and engaging competition.
The 2026 case challenged students to analyze the impact of college football bowl games on local lodging markets, offering a valuable opportunity to explore how major sporting events influence hospitality performance and destination demand. By working through a real-world analytics problem, students demonstrated strong skills in data analysis, teamwork, critical thinking, and professional presentation.
With the support of CoStar STR, the competition continues to serve as an important platform for experiential learning, helping students connect classroom knowledge with industry application in sport, tourism, and hospitality analytics.
Temple is proud to support initiatives like this that foster innovation, collaboration, and career preparation. We extend our sincere thanks to CoStar STR for its sponsorship and congratulate all participating students from Temple and Penn State for their excellent work.
