Recep “Richie” Karaburun, a clinical assistant professor of hospitality and tourism within the NYUSPS Jonathan M. Tisch Center of Hospitality, participated in a visual poster presentation of his research paper, “Impact of Culture on Hotel Ratings,” at the Travel and Tourism Research Association 2018 International Conference. Online reviews and ratings have become a major influence when selecting a hotel for consumers. The impact of different cultures on hotel ratings is crucial, and this research investigated how cultural differences have an impact on guest ratings and reviews of hotels. Karaburun was joined in Florida, where the Conference took place, by Adjunct Instructor Tamer Avcilar, as well as students Kelly Francis, Jack Wang, Young Ryu, and Cooper Han.
