National Centre for Tourism Policy Studies

The National Centre for Tourism Policy Studies (NCTPS) was established as an independent and self-funding research centre at the University of Limerick in 1994. From the outset, the Centre has been dedicated to the tripartite  goals of:

• The development of an internationally recognised Tourism Library at UL;

• Increasing scholarship and knowledge on the tourism sector through postgraduate research programmes and
• Dissemination of the best international and national research on tourism to inform policy debates and decision-making for the tourism industry with a clear focus on economic and environmental sustainability.
