Greetings from the Southeast, Central and South American, and Caribbean (SECSA-CHRIE) Federation Board and our host institution, the University of South Carolina, School of Hospitality and Tourism Management! Please join us for our 9th Annual SECSA-CHRIE Conference from Friday, March 8th to Saturday, March 9th, 2024.

We hope you will consider attending this event and presenting an abstract for the conference proceedings. Federation members are strongly encouraged, and all members of ICHRIE are invited.

We are excited to announce a two-pronged academic focus for this conference and program: Research and Pedagogy. Attendees will be asked to submit works in hospitality and tourism, emphasizing hospitality and tourism research or pedagogical practices. Accordingly, this highlights a broad range of contemporary topics relevant to research, education, and industry practices in hospitality, tourism, and related fields of study.
