Mabuhay! On behalf of the Association of Administrators in Hospitality Hotel and Restaurant Management Educational Institutions, it is an honor and pleasure to welcome all the delegates, speakers and guests to the 2nd International and 23rd Annual National Convention with the theme: "International Collaboration towards Hospitality and Tourism Academic Engagement and Productivity" here in Seoul, South Korea.
This year's theme reflects AAHRMEI's vital role as a strong partner in propagating knowledge transfer, and productivity in the tourism and hospitality sector. AAHRMEI remains steadfast in its mission of enhancing engagement and collaboration between and among the academe, industry, government, public and private sectors locally and internationally.

We have an exciting program at this conference that will allow members to reflect and celebrate our past accomplishments, renew friendships and extend networks, and jointly explore current and future directions.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and Officers of the Association of Administrators in Hospitality Hotel and Restaurant Management Educational Institutions, I wish to express my heartfelt appreciation to AAHRMEI's President Emeritus, Executive Secretary, Committee Chairs and members, AJAM officers, and to Sejong University whose selfless dedication, tireless efforts and unstinted support have been truly inspiring and heartwarming. Through our sustained partnership, we can ingrain and underpin values relevant to all stakeholders of the academe and industry to enhance our capabilities for all. We would like to thank all of the sponsoring organizations for providing their generous support. Lastly, we would like to thank all of the conference participants for their contributions which are the foundation of this conference and strength of AAHRMEI.
