The Council for Australian University Tourism and Hospitality Education (CAUTHE)was formed in the late 1980's and consists of 24 member universities.

In addition to university membership, CAUTHE offers individual membership. CAUTHE aims to promote the development of tourism and hospitality education and research in Australia.

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.

Our Mission: CAUTHE aims to promote the development of tourism and hospitality education and research in Australia.

Our Structure: CAUTHE is an incorporated body whose membership comprises all Universities in Australia which teach and research in tourism and hospitality.
