Findings
– As with other forms of research, hospitality research has become commodified by universities, has been much influenced by changes in greater availability of analytical software packages, and been much influenced by new challenges in the industry, notably globalisation and the rise of Asia.
Originality/value
– The paper provides a list of current issues for research within a context of changing demands being made on academic researchers.
