The ICHRIE FutureFund™ducks have been jailed—and they need your help.

ICHRIE is excited to launch the first-ever Operation: Free Professor Quackers from Jail, a Federation fundraising challenge designed to inspire friendly competition while supporting our shared mission to raise donations to ICHRIE FutureFund™.

Each Federation will recruit 10 Influencers to lead the challenge. Every Influencer begins with six ducks in jail, giving each Federation a total of 60 ducks waiting to be set free.

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.

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.

Dear EuroCHRIE colleagues,
