The following principles will be applied for CAUTHE’s engagement in discussions with kindred associations about collaboration:

1. That CAUTHE encourages discussion with kindred organisations about collaboration, and views this as a natural evolution of member interests and an opportunity to add value to CAUTHE members.
2. That CAUTHE maintains its integrity as the leading peak interest and advocacy group in tourism and hospitality education in Australia and New Zealand.
3. That CAUTHE, as a strong, dynamic and financially secure organisation, protects this position within any potential collaboration.
4. That in all future collaboration with kindred associations, the objectives, mission and values of CAUTHE, as defined in its constitution and strategic plan, are given weight.
5. That in its decision-making, CAUTHE ensures that any form of collaboration with kindred associations adds to its long-term viability.
