Co-creation is a collaborative process where two or more individuals or entities work together to create something new or solve a problem. It involves sharing knowledge, ideas, and resources to develop a shared understanding and a collective outcome that benefits all participants. Co-creation is often used in product design, service delivery, and community building, but it can be applied to many different fields and industries. The key to successful co-creation is to create an environment of trust, respect, and openness where all participants feel empowered to contribute and learn from each other. 

Co-creation Lab in writing research papers in tourism refers to the collaborative process of creating research papers where researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders collaborate to develop research questions, design research methods, analyze data, and interpret findings. This process emphasizes the importance of including diverse perspectives, knowledge, and experiences in the research process to produce meaningful and relevant research outcomes.

EATSA Tourism Co-creation Lab can help achieve this objective by providing researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders a platform to exchange ideas and collaborate on research papers, joint projects, etc. The lab will include a workshop that will help young researchers to share their research findings, discuss current trends and challenges in the field, and identify areas for future research with eminent editors and co-editors of journals. 

Overall, this co-creation lab will help in writing research papers on tourism, promoting collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the development of innovative research ideas that can advance the field of tourism research. The last step of the workshop will result in getting the research work accepted in the required format of those journals and published.

Registered participants can send their research proposals for developing joint projects and research papers to eatsaconfindia2023@gmail.com to be placed for discussions in this session.
