The conference will focus on a broad range of topics related to research in tourism and hospitality. The conference invites papers on either completed research for standing presentation or a preliminary report for poster session.



Three-page abstracts (typed single-spaced) of papers should be submitted for the final selection process. You may submit a full paper if you would like to your full paper, instead of an abstract, to be reviewed. In this case, full paper review will be acknowledged in the proceedings and the format should conform to the full paper format for publication. Indicate the author’s name and affiliation only on the title page of the abstract and they should not be indicated anywhere in the abstract. Submit abstract(s) or full paper(s) for review by email to the Director of Paper Review Committee, Dr. Jerome Agrusa (jagrusa@hpu.edu).
