Scholarship Program
At TIIKM, we are committed to advancing knowledge exchange, academic excellence, and professional development among students, researchers, scholars, and tourism and hospitality professionals worldwide.
We believe financial limitations should not prevent promising individuals from participating in global discussions on tourism and hospitality. The ICOHT 2027 Scholarship Program therefore provides financial support to eligible participants, helping them present their research, gain international exposure, and connect with academics and industry professionals.
During the previous edition, scholarships were awarded to [number of participants] from [regions or countries]. This initiative enabled deserving researchers to share their work, engage with international experts, and contribute to meaningful dialogue at a leading international tourism and hospitality conference.
