The symposium is a nonprofit educational conference devoted to methodology, research, and information exchange between academia and industry. The forum has been held annually since 1984 in Australia, New Zealand, the U.S.A., Europe, and South Africa, in cooperation with industry-leading entities in tourism, hospitality, aviation, information technology, vocational development, and education. The objectives of the forum are to provide an opportunity for tourism educators and trainers to gain new insight about the rapidly changing tourism and hospitality industry, to learn about new training and assessment methods, and to network with their peers.
