Bill Faulkner (1945 - 2002), Professor of Tourism at Griffith University and Deputy CEO of Australian's Centre of Co-operative Research in Sustainable Tourism, was internationally reknowned for his numerous publications in high-profile research journals, and for his extensive contributions at conferences. In Australia, he was deservedly regarded as one of Australia's most prominent leaders of research on tourism. Professor Faulkner was instrumental in the formation of CAUTHE, and the development of its annual conference into one of the foremost international tourism and hospitality research conferences.
CAUTHE proudly offers this award in memory of Bill. It was introduced at the 2002 Conference in Fremantle to honour his memory, and recognise the influence of his work. The award was made available through the generous contribution of several University members and sponsors.
The award - presented to the best PhD paper - consists of AUD $1,000, plus a certificate - is generally presented at the annual Conference Dinner. CAUTHE strongly encourages Heads of Schools to inform current PhD students of this prestigious award.
