Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The project has been carried out in accordance with the plan outlined. The research team expanded the network and established close links with universities in Australia and in Southeast Asia. The research outcome has been reported in a compilation of best practices for post pandemic recovery published by OECD as outcome in the publications. The researchers also improve the research supporting system by acquiring licenses and training for updated software, such as NVivo, and SPSS, and virtual techniques to be used in fieldwork. The principal investigator also used the research grant to buy data together with software for the OECD report “Economic Outlook for Southeast Asia, China and India 2023: Reviving Tourism Post-pandemic”.
