Associate Professor Anne Hardy
Associate Professor Anne Hardy is a researcher with a keen interest in tourist behaviour, tourism mobilities and sustainable tourism. Her research has been cited over 2900 times and she is the author of over 30 journal articles and four books, the most recent of which is titled Tourist Tracking and Mobility. Some of Anne’s most well-known research is the multiple award-winning project, Tourism Tracer. This project was the first to track tourists, with their consent, for the duration of their holiday throughout entire destinations. Tourism Tracer’s success resulted in changes in the way that destinations such as Tasmania collect visitor information. Since its development, it has been used in many other national and international jurisdictions and is currently featured in the Thrive 2030 National visitor economy strategy.
Anne’s international and national reputation for innovative, engaged and impact-driven tourism research has led to many industry-funded research projects and a variety of national and international academic invitations to deliver keynote speeches to both industry and academic audiences. She has spoken at events organised by the United Nations World Tourism Organisation One Planet sustainability initiative, World Expo Dubai, and the United Nations Environment Program.
Anne is currently involved in a new program of research into Antarctic Tourism. She is working on projects funded by Hurtigruten and Intrepid to explore the Antarctic visitor experience. Currently, she is also the Head of Research in the School of Social Sciences, at the University of Tasmania.
