Why Work at EMOTUR?
We live in a digital environment that encompasses everything from the way we communicate to our consumption habits. At Emotur, you will join a newly created project where you can deepen your understanding of these aspects, analyzing the emotions and reactions of people that do not surface through traditional research methods.
The University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC) is the leading research center in tourism within the European Union, according to the latest Shanghai Ranking (2021). It hosts the UNESCO Chair in Tourism and Sustainable Economic Development, as well as the Institute of Tourism and Sustainable Economic Development (TIDES). In addition, the Canary Islands offer a tourism ecosystem with endless possibilities to gain in-depth knowledge of the tourism and hospitality sector, being the top European region in terms of overnight stays (EUROMONITOR, 2020).
At Emotur, you will learn how to use innovative and cutting-edge techniques and instruments for consumer analysis (VR & AR, Eye Tracking, facial expression analysis, EEG, etc.), expanding your knowledge and enhancing your professional profile and employability, whether in the academic-research field or in the business sector. You will also have the opportunity to participate in both basic and applied research projects, contributing to the development of companies and destinations, and helping to improve social well-being.
