Fellows

Fellow membership is granted by the CAUTHE Executive to people in recognition of their enduring commitment to tourism, hospitality and/or event education and research and CAUTHE.

Background

The Fellowship was formed in August 2008 and marked a significant milestone in the development and maturation of CAUTHE. The inaugural Fellows were formally invested at the CAUTHE 2009 Conference in Fremantle. The role of Tony Nankervis in bringing the Fellowship to life was also acknowledged. The Emeritus Fellow status was introduced in 2014 for those Fellows who have retired. The Honorary Fellow status was introduced in 2019 to recognise the contributions of international colleagues to CAUTHE.
