Education, training takes spotlight at Global 2014 & 11th ATF

THE Global Tourism & Hospitality Conference and Asia Tourism Forum (Global 2014 & 11th ATF) will be held in Hong Kong on May 18-20 this year, with the theme Charting the New Path: Innovations in Tourism and Hospitality – Innovations ∙ Research ∙ Education.

Jointly organised by the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and Taylor & Francis Group, the conference will be held at Hotel Icon, the state-of-the-art teaching and research hotel built for the SHTM by PolyU.

The conference is a chance for industry academics, policy makers, thought leaders, researchers, industry professionals and students to interact, and exchange views and research findings on Asian and international tourism and hospitality.

A highlight of the conference is the Special Panel Session on Education and Training, which will see educators weigh in on topics related to tourism and hospitality education. Subsequent discussions and a Q&A session with the panel will provide delegates more insights.

Delegates can also meet and speak with editors of academic journals, well versed in the most recent developments in the field of tourism and hospitality research, in a Meet-the-Editor Session.
