About the Rosen Research Review
Since 2019, the Rosen Research Review has served as a bridge between cutting-edge academic research and the dynamic world of hospitality and tourism. Born from a visionary collaboration between UCF’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management and Research Features, this biannual magazine transforms complex research into stories that inspire, inform, and impact.
Every issue is a reflection of our mission:
To share insights that move industries forward, empower global communities, and reimagine the future of hospitality.
We’re not your typical research journal. This is research brought to life—colorful, accessible, and created for real-world impact. From smart destinations and sustainable tourism to pricing strategy, virtual reality, and social equity in service, the Rosen Research Review delivers engaging content grounded in real data, real voices, and real challenges.
