About

The Council for Australian University Tourism and Hospitality Education (CAUTHE) began in the late 1980's and was formally established in Sydney on 19 June 1992. It was established to represent the interests of its members who are University providers of Tourism and Hospitality Education, including teaching, learning, scholarship and research. As well as its University (Chapter) memberships CAUTHE offers Associate, Affiliate and Student memberships.

A CAUTHE conference is held each year and is organised by a host committee drawn from a single university or a consortium of closely located universities. The first annual CAUTHE conference was held in 1993, with two conferences having been held prior to the formalisation of CAUTHE in 1991 and 1988.

Mission

CAUTHE aims to promote the development of tourism and hospitality education and research in Australia. CAUTHE is an incorporated body whose membership comprises all Universities in Australia which teach and research in tourism and hospitality.
