Dear Colleagues,
The board member of the Korea America Hospitality and Tourism Educators Association is pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the 2025 THEREPS (Tourism, Hospitality, and Event Conference for Researchers, Educators, Practitioners, and Students).
The THEREPS conference committee invites researchers, educators, practitioners, and students who would like to share their knowledge, business know-how, and valuable experiences. Conference attendees will share their expertise through completed research, research-in-progress, case studies, or open discussion in stand-up presentations, poster presentations, or undergraduate research forums.
Presentations will be available in the following formats:
1. Refereed research presentations
Research presentations should be based on either theoretical or empirical studies that demonstrate sound research questions, research methodology, and implications. Stand-up or poster presentation formats will be available. Master’s students as well as doctoral students are welcome to present their current research projects.
2. Undergraduate Student Research Forum
The Undergraduate Student Research Forum is designed to provide undergraduate students with opportunities to present their research proposals, case studies, or completed studies. Stand-up presentation format is only available. The faculty advisor must attend the conference with the student presenter.
