Call for Papers: ICCTH Bangkok 2026

The International Conference on Culture, Tourism, and Hospitality (ICCTH Bangkok 2026) invites submissions for its hybrid edition, to be held November 4–9, 2026, at The Ambassador Hotel, Bangkok, with online participation also supported.

ICCTH is a peer-reviewed international conference that convenes scholars, industry leaders, and innovators working at the evolving intersections of culture, tourism, and hospitality. With a strong emphasis on emerging technologies and artificial intelligence, the conference provides a global platform for advancing research, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and addressing contemporary challenges and opportunities in the field. The programme features research presentations, panel discussions, and networking opportunities, with keynote contributions from Prof. Faizan Ali (University of Galway) and Dr. Fevzi Okumus (University of South Carolina).

Conference Themes

The conference welcomes submissions on cultural tourism and sustainable development; hospitality and culture; technology and innovation in tourism; tourism, cultural exchange, and globalization; tourism marketing and cultural branding; health, wellness, and cultural tourism; and AI-enhanced interdisciplinary education. Submissions on related topics outside this list are also welcome.

Peer Review and Publication

ICCTH maintains a rigorous academic standard through a double-blind peer review process, supported by a Scientific and Paper Review Committee of over 60 scholars representing 54 universities across 28 countries. Authors who submit a full manuscript may opt to have their work published in Advances in International Culture, Tourism, and Hospitality, to be published by Atlantis Press. Papers selected as Best Papers will be offered the opportunity to fast-track their submissions to a supporting journal of the author's choice; fast-tracking does not guarantee acceptance, as all submissions remain subject to the journal's standard peer-review process.
