The Center for Hospitality and Tourism Research represents a joint venture equally
supported by the College of Business Administration and Professional Studies
and Fine Arts. The Center is an education and research center dedicated to the
study and application of business and professional principles in the broad field
of hospitality and tourism. The mission of the Center is to enhance the skills
and knowledge of professionals and students in the field of hospitality and tourism
management through the creation and delivery of initiatives in executive development,
research, and curriculum innovation.
Programs associated with the Center focus on identifying best practices in all
aspects of hospitality and tourism such as hotel operations, restaurant operations,
global tourism and attractions, events and convention management. The Center’s
mission is pursued in multiple venues, including private, public and not-for-profit
agencies. Our vision is to become the leading center for hospitality and tourism
management education in Southern California and a prominent national and international
resource for questions related to education in hospitality and tourism. The Center
actively seeks to support SDSU, the College of Business Administration, the College
of Professional Studies and Fine Arts, and members of the local and national
community in matters related to hospitality and tourism. The Center is located
in PSFA 430. (619) 594-4964
