From 10 to 13 November 2025, hospitality professionals, educators, and researchers from around the world will gather in The Hague as Hotelschool The Hague hosts the EuroCHRIE 2025 Conference. The annual event, organised by the European Council on Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Education (EuroCHRIE), is one of the most influential events in hospitality and tourism education.
With the theme “High Tech, High Touch Horizons – Leading Progress in Hospitality and Tourism,” the 2025 edition will focus on how technological innovation can be meaningfully integrated with human-centred service, sustainable development, and future-ready education.
A platform for progress
Each year, the EuroCHRIE Conference convenes delegates from educational institutions, research centres, and the hospitality industry. The event serves as a platform to exchange ideas and inspire new approaches to hospitality education and business. Topics for 2025 include digital transformation, workforce shortages, and strategies for managing sustainable growth in tourism.
“We are privileged to welcome EuroCHRIE 2025 to our campus,” says Jeroen Oskam, Director of the Research Centre at Hotelschool The Hague and Chair of the Conference. “This event gives academics and industry leaders the opportunity to work together towards shaping the future of our field. Hosting the conference is also a recognition of our school’s strong role in hospitality research and innovation.”
The conference programme will feature keynote speakers, research presentations, panel discussions, and networking opportunities. While deeply rooted in academic research, the sessions are designed to be highly relevant to practitioners and industry professionals navigating the changing landscape of tourism and hospitality.
Why The Hague and why now?
The selection of The Hague as the 2025 host city reflects both its global outlook and its connection to hospitality innovation. As the seat of international institutions and a growing hub for sustainable tourism, the city offers a meaningful backdrop to a conference focused on collaboration and transformation.
At a time when the hospitality industry faces complex challenges, from evolving guest expectations to talent shortages and sustainability goals, the conference aims to offer fresh perspectives and actionable solutions.
