Dear APacCHRIE Members and Our Global Community,
It is with great excitement that I welcome you to APacCHRIE 2026, hosted by Ritsumeikan University, to be held in Osaka, Japan, from May 28 to 31, 2026.
APacCHRIE conferences remind us why we do , what we do: to learn, to share, and to grow together.
This is where we reconnect with longtime colleagues, discover unexpected collaborators over coffee, and meet new friends during the Welcome Reception or at the Closing Dinner.
Osaka and its neighboring cities, Kyoto and Kobe, are where tradition and modernity meet in harmony. Walk through timeless streets, savor renowned local cuisine, and experience the vibrant culture that makes this region so unforgettable.
We sincerely invite APacCHRIE members and fellow scholars and professionals across the world to join us for this inspiring gathering. We look forward to meeting you, learning with you, and shaping the future of tourism and hospitality together.
We look forward to seeing you at APacCHRIE 2026 Conference in Osaka.
Kyungsoo Han
President, APacCHRIE(2025-2026)
