On July 4, Quebec’s chief scientist, Rémi Quirion, revealed the names of the winners of the Publication in French prize, including Pascale Marcotte, professor at the Faculty of Forestry, Geography and Geomatics.
Professor in the Department of Geography at Université Laval and director of the Certificate in Sustainable Tourism, Pascale Marcotte is interested in the development of tourist and cultural sites, their protection, particularly through territorial labels, as well as the behavior and expectations of visitors who visit them. Holder of a doctorate in sociology and a postdoctorate on consumer behavior, she is used to working in an interdisciplinary and collaborative perspective.
Her research is largely carried out in partnership with stakeholders in the tourism sector, both in Quebec and abroad. She participates in several networks, including the UNESCO-UNITWIN Chair in Tourism-Culture-Sustainable Development. Involved in the creation and transfer of knowledge to different audiences, she also frequently contributes to publications in the field of tourism research.
