Revving up tourism: Formula One and other big events look set to drive growth in the hospitality industry

In late 2023, I embarked on my first Formula One race experience, attending the first-ever Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Key Points:

In late 2023, I embarked on my first Formula One race experience, attending the first-ever Las Vegas Grand Prix.
And what better place to learn how to do that than in the stands of the Las Vegas Grand Prix?

The future of tourism is in events and experiences

Tourism is fun, but it’s also big business: In the U.S. alone, it’s a US$2.6 trillion industry employing 15 million people.
And with travelers increasingly planning their trips around events rather than places, both industry leaders and academics are paying attention.
In 2023, Lollapalooza generated an estimated $422 million for the local economy and drew record-breaking crowds to the city’s hotels.

Why Formula One?

Formula One offers a prime example of the economic importance of event tourism.
In 2022, Formula One generated about $2.6 billion in total revenues, according to the latest full-year data from its parent company.
A record 5.7 million fans attended Formula One races in 2022, up 36% from 2019.

That’s why I think of Formula One as more than just a pastime: It’s emblematic of a major shift in the tourism industry that offers substantial job opportunities.
And it takes more than drivers and pit crews to make Formula One run – it takes a diverse range of professionals in fields such as event management, marketing, engineering and beyond.

How hospitality and business programs should prepare students

To align with the evolving landscape of mega-events like Formula One races, hospitality schools should, I believe, integrate specialized training in event management, luxury hospitality and international business.
So, programs may consider incorporating courses in sustainable event management, eco-friendly hospitality practices and innovations in sustainable event and tourism.
Beyond hospitality and business, other disciplines such as material sciences, engineering and data analytics can also integrate F1 into their curricula.

Racing into the future: Formula One today and tomorrow

These decisions, along with the continued growth of the sport’s fan base and sponsorship deals, underscore F1’s economic significance and future potential.
Looking ahead in 2024, Formula One seems ripe for further expansion.
We already know that was effective marketing – after all, it inspired me to check out the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Bringing AI up to speed – autonomous auto racing promises safer driverless cars on the road

Wednesday, February 14, 2024

Enter autonomous racing, a field that’s not just about high-speed competition but also pushing the boundaries of what autonomous vehicles can achieve and improving their safety.

Key Points:

Enter autonomous racing, a field that’s not just about high-speed competition but also pushing the boundaries of what autonomous vehicles can achieve and improving their safety.
Similarly, autonomous racing is the modern arena to prove the reliability of autonomous vehicle technology as driverless cars begin to hit the streets.
I am a computer science professor who studies artificial intelligence, robotics and autonomous vehicles, and I lead the Cavalier Autonomous Racing team at the University of Virginia.
The team competes in the Indy Autonomous Challenge, a global contest where universities pit fully autonomous Indy race cars against each other.

Pint-size beginnings

The field of autonomous racing didn’t begin with race cars on professional race tracks but with miniature cars at robotics conferences.
In 2015, my colleagues and I engineered a 1/10 scale autonomous race car.
F1tenth has also emerged as an engaging and accessible gateway for students to delve into robotics research.

Getting real

The cars are built on a modified version of the Indy NXT chassis and are outfitted with sensors and controllers to allow autonomous driving.
Indy NXT race cars are used in professional racing and are slightly smaller versions of the Indy cars made famous by the Indianapolis 500.

The gritty reality of racing these advanced machines on real racetracks pushes the boundaries of what autonomous vehicles can do.
My team has shared the world’s first open dataset for autonomous racing, inviting researchers everywhere to join in refining the algorithms that could help define the future of autonomous vehicles.

Crucible for autonomous vehicles

More than just a technological showcase, autonomous racing is a critical research frontier.
Autonomous racing is a testbed where competition spurs innovation, collaboration fosters growth, and AI-controlled cars racing to the finish line chart a course toward safer autonomous vehicles.

My research has been funded by National Science Foundation, Commonwealth Cyber Initiative, U.S. Department of Transportation, and Leidos for the period 2018 to 2024. I am also a senior member of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and an Academic Advisory Council member for the Partners for Automated Vehicle Education (PAVE).
