CAUTHE - tourism and hospitality education and research association in Australia

Special Interest Groups

CAUTHE assists members develop and coordinate special interest groups (SIGs) to provide interaction between members, other associations and affiliates in Australasia and beyond. Proposed SIGs can be a research or teaching related group. All SIGs have their own co-ordinators and involve a range of members, including students and overseas members.

CAUTHE provides web presence, integrates SIGs into the annual conference, facilitates projects and links with other organisations, and provides some financial assistance to help SIGs host meetings or symposia outside of the annual conference. The CAUTHE executive assesses the viability of any SIG in the event that there is no activity in a two year period.

Please the read information about each of the SIGs on this website to find out more about their activities and projects, and contact the SIG co-ordinator Dr Dianne Dredge, dianne.dredge@scu.edu.au to discuss the SIG application process for forming new SIGs.

CAUTHE currently supports the following SIGs:
