Historic Change of name EuroCHRIE to EMEA CHRIE

Dear EuroCHRIE Colleagues and Members of ICHRIE,

In my role as current president of EuroCHRIE, it is with great pleasure that I share an important milestone in the evolution of our federation. With overwhelming support from our members, the board’s proposal to rename EuroCHRIE to EMEA CHRIE has been approved. This decision reflects our commitment to inclusivity and better represents the diverse community we serve across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

ICHRIE Members,

Thank you to everyone who participated and sent in incredibly thoughtful LMS name ideas!  We loved all of them!  We carefully reviewed the submissions and wanted to ensure that the name can be holistic and would allow the ICHRIE LMS to grow and include all aspects of hospitality and tourism, not just sustainability and event technology. 

2024 CentralCHRIE Conference

The 2024 CentralCHRIE Conference, held online on November 8th, brought together a dynamic community of scholars, educators, industry leaders, and students to explore the theme, “Innovating Hospitality and Tourism: Embracing Technology and Sustainability.” With 64 participants representing 24 institutions, this year’s conference provided an engaging platform for collaborations and innovations. Attendees participated in 30 research presentations and one keynote address.

Congratulations to everyone on the successful conclusion of the EuroCHRIE 2024 Conference, held from November 4–7 in Doha, Qatar, with the theme “Hospitality and Tourism in a New Era: Building Bridges and Overcoming Challenges.” Hosted by Al Rayyan International University College (ARIU). The conference provided an inspiring and impactful platform, featuring concurrent sessions, interactive workshops, insightful keynote presentations, and, last but not least, enriching cultural exchanges. 

The conference brought together over 150 participants from more than 35 countries, spanning Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the USA, and Asia. The program addressed vital topics in hospitality and tourism, including sustainability, digital transformation, cultural integration, and leadership. From workshops for young scholars and PhD students to the EuroCHRIE board meeting, participants engaged in learning experiences that set a dynamic tone for the event.

The Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research (JHTR) is thrilled to announce the release of the special issue: "Above and Beyond: Advancing the Power of Experiences in Hospitality and Tourism."
