Call for Papers

We are delighted to announce the first call for papers for the 28th Annual Council for Australasian Tourism and Hospitality Education (CAUTHE) Conference. CAUTHE 2018, proudly hosted by the University of Newcastle, will be held from 5-8 February 2018 in the beautiful coastal city of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia.

The theme of the CAUTHE 2018 conference is Get Smart: Paradoxes and Possibilities in Tourism, Hospitality and Events. This theme encourages researchers to engage a critical lens on the creation and generation of knowledge in tourism, hospitality and events.

CAUTHE 2018 acknowledges that the process of building knowledge, and getting smart about tourism, hospitality and events, can generate a series of paradoxes, ironies and juxtapositions that challenge conventions and create alternative ways of knowing.

We call for innovative contributions focusing on how tourism, hospitality and events are experienced and developed. We encourage papers on teaching, curriculum, and pedagogical research, as well as theoretical and empirical studies relating to tourism, hospitality and events.
