This annual event is the premier academic conference for tourism, hospitality, and events (TH&E) scholars and professionals in the Australasian region provides an outstanding platform for leading academics, researchers, and industry professionals to engage in meaningful discussions, share innovative research, and forge strong collaborations. The event attracts delegates from Australia, New Zealand, and beyond, offering unparalleled networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities.
