Tracking tourists behaviour: how a passion for travel lead this research to explore how tourists travel
Associate Professor Anne Hardy grew up in one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in the world: Tasmania. Now, her research career is devoted to exploring the tourism industry.
Her research focuses on tourist behaviour and sustainable tourism.
“I always loved taking holidays. I went on a lot of holidays with my family as a child. When I was around 16 my parents actually started up a tourism business and so I guess those two passions collided.
“I suddenly realised that running a business was a really complicated thing, particularly in an island state like Tasmania.
“And I also just love discovering things. So that’s when I thought well, maybe I’ll do tourism research.”
Associate Professor Hardy now spends a lot of time following tourists around: with technology.
“We are really interested in understanding exactly where tourists go. We designed an app called Tourism Tracer.”
The app has GPS technology that includes a survey so the researchers understand exactly who the tourists are and exactly where they go.
'That data is beamed real time onto the dashboard so tourism authorities and the industry can actually understand in almost real time exactly where tourists are travelling.'
The idea for the Tourism Tracer began in the early 2000s when Associate Professor Hardy was working in Canada.
“I’ll never forget talking to someone from Tourism British Columbia who handed me a stack of surveys and maps from tourists.
“He said, ‘we just don’t know what to do with this.’ And that really stuck in my mind for the next 12 or 13 years.”
Associate Professor Hardy said she realised that while we knew about the impacts of travel, the psychology behind travel, and more, we just didn’t know where people actually went.
'That concept burned in my mind until I was able to actually do something about it.'
From there Tourism Tracer was born. Working with a Tasmanian developer, the team commissioned a dynamic, visually appealing app and corresponding dashboard that was free to access for anyone who wished to see the data.
'Once the actual data came in and we saw the dynamic movement, that was when we got really excited.'
“We suddenly realised there’s a large amount of people doing these massive drives. They’re driving hundreds and hundreds of kilometres and 15 per cent of them drive between 11pm and 6am,” Hardy said.
“That was a big, big shock for us. We thought ‘hold on a minute, there’s a lot of risk taking going on here.’”
Associate Professor Hardy said once the data started to come in, she began to receive calls from all over the world.
“We started to get a huge amount of requests for proposals and we suddenly realised that this was something that was almost bigger than a research project.”
Recently, the University of Tasmanian signed a licensing deal with a new company called Tourism Research Technologies, meaning the concept has grown from a research project to a fully commercialised product.
“To have all this interest was overwhelming. I continue to pinch myself and think, ‘I just can’t believe this has actually happened.’
'We’re really proud, we’re a really close knit team it’s just been super, super exciting to go through the process.'
“You always want to do something that makes a difference.”
In addition to her Tourism Tracer research, Anne's research interests are neo-tribal theory, the self drive tourism market and stakeholder perspectives of tourism. Her past projects have included: research into the behaviour and motivation of Recreational Vehicle Users in Canada and Australia; a study into the attitudes of Tasmanians towards tourism development; and research into the neo-tribal behaviours of tourists.
Anne is the Co-Director of the Tourism Research and Education Network (TRENd). In her role, Anne helps helping other academics connect with industry partners to share their research.
“When I first started as Director in 2013, we were collectively stunned that there was this large amount of research at the University, but we weren’t working with industry,” she says.
“That really guides my approach to research – we’re not just building theories; we are also trying to transfer this knowledge to the industry, and making sure it’s relevant.'
Research that makes a difference
Associate Professor Anne Hardy’s research interests primarily lay in tourist mobility and behaviour, sustainable tourism and community attitudes towards tourism. 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 has since been commercialised.
Biography
Following the award of her PhD Anne was employed at the University of Tasmania, before moving to Canada where she was employed at the University of Northern British Columbia. Upon her return to Tasmania, Anne developed and ran a tourism consulting business in Tasmania, before returning to the University of Tasmania in 2011.
Anne’s international and national reputation for innovative, engaged and impact driven tourism research in the areas of tourist behaviour and sustainable tourism has led to a variety of national and international academic invitations. She is on the Advisory Board for the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative and Tourism Tracer a project partner for the UNWTO’s Sustainable Tourism division, One Planet. She is an elected board member for Destination Southern Tasmania.
Anne is the founder of the Tourism Research and Education Network (TRENd). TRENd draws together tourism researchers from all disciplines across UTAS, with the goal of building research capacity and enhancing engagement with the Tasmanian tourism industry. In 2020 TRENd, in conjunction with the University of Newcastle initiated the highly successful Iso-CHATS series. This series is dedicated to sharing the work of tourism researchers across the globe during the COVID pandemic on a regular basis. It rapidly gained a reputation of being a collaborative, social and supportive space for new, emerging and experienced researchers from across the world.
Anne is an Associate editor for Tourism Geographies, and sits on the editorial board of Annals of Tourism Research Empirical Insights, Tourism Recreation Research and the Journal of Tourism Cities.

Expertise
Anne’s research interests primarily lay in tourist mobility and the use of technology to understand this, along with sustainable tourism and community attitudes towards tourism. 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 resulted in changes in the way that tourist mobility is understood, along with how destinations such as Tasmania collect visitor information. Since its development, it has been used in many other national and international jurisdictions and has since been commercialised. It has also been made a research partner of the One Planet Initiative within the United Nations Environment Program. The Tourism Tracer dashboard may be viewed here: www.tourismtracer.com

Her early work in this area, published in the Journal of Sustainable Tourism, is amongst the most highly cited literature in the field. Her most recent work has been centred around the use of innovative methodologies to explore community and tourists’ attitudes, as well issues related to social justice through tourism. Currently, she is also involved in several project related to tourists’ experiences in Antarctic.
Areas of expertise include:
- Tourist mobility
- Technology and tourism
- Sustainable tourism
- Community attitudes towards tourism
- Social justice and tourism
- Self drive tourism
- The sharing economy and Airbnb
- Antarctic tourism
Research Themes
Anne's research aligns to two research themes: Resources and Sustainability; and Creativity, Culture and Society. Specifically research interests are neo-tribal theory, the self drive tourism market and stakeholder perspectives of tourism. Her past projects have included: research into the behaviour and motivation of Recreational Vehicle Users in Canada and Australia; a study into the attitudes of Tasmanians towards tourism development; and research into the neo-tribal behaviours of tourists.
Currently Anne leads a team of researchers and research higher degree candidates that are using neo-tribal theory to explore the behaviour of tourists and leisure seekers. This team has applied the construct to gay tourists, Antarctic tourists and sports fans. Personally Anne is undertaking research that explores the neo-tribal behaviours of recreational vehicle users in Australia, North America and the United Kingdom. Her research compares the similarities and differences of this tourism market.
In addition, Anne is currently co-leading research that will track the movement of self-drive tourists to Tasmania and explore their social media patterns. This ground breaking, cross disciplinary research will use GPS and mobile web technology to the track movement of visitors over multiple days.
Anne is also undertaking research that utilises inclusive and responsive mobile methodologies in order to explore stakeholders' attitudes towards tourism in Tasmania and other communities. This work builds upon her highly successful publications in sustainable tourism. She is also involved in research and supervises research students pertaining to the experiences and behaviour of Chinese tourists to regional areas.
Collaboration
Anne’s research program is underpinned by industry and cross disciplinary collaboration. Examples of her current and past industry partners include Intrepid as part of her ARC funded research, Hurtigruten as part of a MOU agreement with the University of Tasmania, the one Planet division of the United Nations Environment Program as part of her research parent status and involvement with the Global Plastic initiative, and Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade with who she has delivered research presentations.
Anne’s leadership of the Tautism Tracer project has seen her work with Tourism Tasmania, Destination Southern Tasmania, the Ports Authority of New South Wales, TourismSkåne, Department of State Growth Tasmania, the Parks and Wildlife Service of Tasmania and Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
She currently also involved in multiple collaborative research projects with other universities, including Wakayama University as part of an Australia-Japan Research Grant, plus Massey University and the University of Newcastle as part of a citizen social science project.
As part of her research into self drive tourism, the caravanning market and the RV Market Anne has also conducted research with Northern Tourism British Columbia, Parks Canada, and the Texas Campground Association.

- Description
- This proposal originated from discussion between Anne Hardy, Chris Harris, Sarah Kidd and Effie Steriopoulos. The William Angliss Institute (WAI) has an ethics committee that meets 10-11 times per year. As researchers at WAI have become increasingly research- active, there is a desire for the committee members to undertake training to ensure that dialogue between the committee and applicants is efficient and supportive. It is proposed that Associate Professor Anne Hardy provide training to the committee in the form of an interactive workshop that will detail pragmatic approaches to ethics, from the perspective of researchers. During the workshop, it is proposed that the following topics may be covered:What ethics means to researchers;Roadblocks and issues that can arise;The processes of ethics applications and how they work for researchers;Expediated decision making;What efficient communication looks like to researchers; andWhy some researchers fear ethics applications and tools to mitigate this.During the workshop a variety of case studies will be used to cover these issues. The workshop will be delivered over a period of 1.5hrs, with time allocated for discussion during and after the talk.

- With the Antarctic tourist industry currently growing and diversifying, the project aims to discover how cruiseoperators can foster positive and culturally informed relationships with the region among visitors of differentnational backgrounds. Through extensive in-situ fieldwork with partner Intrepid Travel, the project expects togenerate new understandings of how operators' active mediating role combines with multisensory experience ofAntarctica to forge human connections with this extreme but fragile place. Anticipated outcomes include protocolsfor best practice in designing and implementing tourist experiences. By encouraging diverse visitors to valueAntarctica, the project should benefit both operators and the polar environment.

- Description
- The project will assess emotional wellbeing effects of a brief holiday in Tasmania (between three and ten days), accounting for different tourist characteristics and daily experiences. Using a modified form of the Tourism Tracer app, including a mix of longitudinal (pre-post) surveys, daily experience sampling and geospatial data, we will assess the influence of location on mood and stress, and will assess changes in tourists psychological capital, distress and life satisfaction after returning home. Reflections collected in follow-up interviews will provide a rich source of information to build a phenomenological understanding of tourist experiences specific to the population and region being studied, and may help explain differential pre-post holiday effects on wellbeing outcomes

- Description
- The Royal Hobart Show has suffered from declining numbers and revenue for the past five to ten years. There is significant interest from the Board of the Royal Agricultural Society (RAS) to investigate options for revitalisation. The main options that have been discussed include: a) a revitalisation of the Shows offerings; and b) a new location. In light of the needs of the RAS, the University of Tasmania proposes a research program that will deliver data on perceptions of current and future show offerings and perceptions of moving to a new site/location.
