Dimitrios Stylidis

Dr. Dimitrios Stylidis is Senior Lecturer in Tourism at Middlesex University's Faculty of Business and Law, specializing in destination image, place perception, tourism impacts, sustainable development, and destination marketing. His research examines how resident-tourist interactions shape destination perceptions across global contexts.

Current teaching encompasses events management, research methods, dissertation supervision, and international tourism management. Methodological approaches integrate quantitative and qualitative techniques to explore complex tourism phenomena.

Research focuses extensively on destination image formation processes across stakeholder groups, with significant contributions to understanding resident attitudes toward tourism development. Recent work investigates how user-generated video content influences destination perceptions and travel motivations, plus post-pandemic opposition to tourism in island communities.

Publications demonstrate consistent theoretical development of emotional solidarity framework and destination image models. Recent outputs examine cognitive mechanisms underlying resident opposition to tourism, quality of host-guest interactions, and video marketing effectiveness. Research spans diverse geographical contexts including Fiji, Spain, Austria, Israel and the UK.

Dr. Stylidis maintains active research collaborations internationally and contributes to theoretical advancement in tourism social psychology through journal publications and editorial roles.
