Program

Tourism, hospitality and events are experiencing a time of unprecedented transformation, shaped by globalisation, technological advancement and social change. In keeping with the theme, Shaping the Next Normal in Tourism, Hospitality and Events, the CAUTHE 2022 Conference provided a great opportunity for educators, researchers and practitioners to shape the ‘next normal’ in tourism, hospitality and events, with an emphasis on the role of research and education in generating constructive conversation designed to position these sectors as agents of sustainable development. It was also a wonderful opportunity for CAUTHE to expand its reach and impact by welcoming and encompassing into its program scholars from all over the globe, enabling engagement with the local CAUTHE community.
