SUMMARY:Triggering the Flow Experience in Agritourism: Contexts\, Moments\, and Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to inform you that the 3rd GAN Research Committee Webinar will take place on Friday October 3rd at 18h30 (6.30pm) Central European Time \nThe Theory of Opare inherently laced with viable triggers for the flow state. Hospitality and experiential design can be tailored to activate these inherent but typically latent triggers. This webinatimal Experience\, i.e. Flow Theory describes a psychological state featuring deep focus\, intrinsic motivation\, and full engagement. This “flow state” may be triggered when a few key conditions are met. After the flow state is experienced\, various benefits can result pertaining to mental health\, creativity\, and engagement at work. Tourism\, and more specifically agritourism\, r will describe Flow Theory and discuss key findings in the wider tourism literature. In addition\, examples of “flow-compatible” hospitality design in wine tourism and agritourism will be presented. \nPresenter:   Matthew Coyne \nDepartment of Hospitality & Tourism Management \nIsenberg School of Management \nUniversity of Massachusetts\, USA \n  \nRegister for the Webinar here.
