JHTM has been growing from strength to strength and this year we are celebrating its 30 years anniversary. Indeed, JHTM is 30 years young !

To celebrate this remarkable milestone, we are proud to present the JHTM Anniversary Online Research Festival.

The festival features SEVEN engaging webinars, scheduled weekly throughout October and November 2024.
Each webinar will bring together esteemed scholars, thought leaders and industry experts to critically reflect on cutting-edge research and current challenges in tourism, hospitality, and events with the aim of shaping the future direction of research in the coming years.

We have an incredible line-up of topics, presenters and discussion panel members, ensuring a rich and insightful experience for all participants.
Below, you will find the detailed webinar program, including topics, dates and URL links to join.

Participation in the webinars is free and open to all, though space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Once capacity is reached, no additional attendees can join. However, each session will be recorded, and videos will be made available afterward.

We sincerely hope you will enjoy the JHTM Anniversary Online Research Festival.

This event not only celebrates 30 years of JHTM’s contributions to the research community but also serves as tangible proof of its ongoing impact.

For more information and updates on the speakers and agenda for each webinar, please follow JHTM on social media and CAUTHE communication channels.

We look forward to welcoming you to the webinars—to celebrate, participate, and co-create through inspiring discussions.

Happy 30th anniversary, JHTM! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has contributed to JHTM: our readers, authors, reviewers, board members, and supporters. Your dedication has made this journey possible.
