The Council for Hospitality Management Education (CHME) wish to commission research that will culminate in a report that explores the impact of forces affecting the future development of the subject of hospitality in universities in the United Kingdom.

  • mapping of existing international hospitality researcher networks and exploration of potential for one unified global network;
  • summary of hospitality journal reviewing practices;
  • positioning of hospitality and its representation on former RAE and future REF panels;
  • identification of hospitality professoriat in the United Kingdom;
