Professor Kevin Walker from the Hospitality and Tourism Management program at the Dubrovnik campus, traveled to Nairobi, Kenya to
attend the 35th EuroCHRIE 2017conference, taking place from October 23-25. Nairobi based Strathmore
University teamed with partners Saxion University of Applied Sciences and
University College of Northern Denmark to deliver the first EuroCHRIE to be
held in Africa. In keeping with the conference’s theme, "Reach the unreached –
touch the untouched”, the conference exposed participants to many of the
wonders and mysteries of African tourism and tourism in general. "Providing
attendees with the opportunity to experience African hospitality and tourism
firsthand and to become acquainted with the most recent research efforts in
hospitality and tourism, EuroCHRIE 2017 truly allowed us to "Reach the
unreached – touch the untouched””, said professor Walker upon returning to
Dubrovnik campus.
