Call for Papers and Workshops
The 38th Annual Conference of the International Society of Travel and Tourism Educators (ISTTE) welcomes you to submit research papers, poster proposals or workshops for presentation. This year’s conference will be on board the Golden Princess departing out of Vancouver, BC and cruising to Alaska. The conference dates are September 21-25, 2019.
The 2019 Conference theme is “Exploring The Frontiers Of Tourism Education” and we expect a wide range of topics related to education, research and management in the field of travel, tourism, and hospitality services to be shared. This is also a great opportunity to network with educators, students and administrators.
