The Philippine Association of Researchers in Tourism and Hospitality (PARTH) has been steadfast in its commitment to advancing research excellence in the tourism and hospitality fields for nearly a decade. Since its inception, PARTH has worked to bring together educators, students, practitioners, scholars, and advocates who share a common purpose: to elevate the role of research in shaping the future of our industry and in contributing to the sustainable development of our communities. Over the past ten years, our journey has been marked by both victories and challenges—each one shaping us into a more resilient and united community. We have celebrated groundbreaking studies, strengthened academic–industry linkages, and opened opportunities for knowledge dissemination in national and international platforms. We have also navigated periods of difficulty that tested our resolve, pushing us to reflect, adapt, and emerge stronger. Through it all, our collective dedication and solidarity have remained unwavering. As we enter a new chapter, PARTH continues to serve as a dynamic platform where ideas are cultivated, research is supported, and collaboration is encouraged. We recognize that the growth of our field depends on the growth of our people. For new and aspiring researchers, PARTH provides a welcoming environment where curiosity is nurtured, confidence is built, and research identities are formed. For seasoned academics and scholars, our organization offers opportunities to expand influence, share expertise, and mentor the next generation of tourism and hospitality researchers. We believe in research that is not only rigorous, but also relevant and transformative—research that informs policy, enhances practice, preserves culture, supports sustainability, and ultimately contributes to the Filipino society’s well-being. PARTH remains committed to: Promoting a culture of academic integrity and excellence Encouraging mentorship and intergenerational collaboration Supporting research dissemination and publication Building networks within local and global communities of practice Fostering research that addresses real needs and future challenges Together, we continue to strengthen the foundation of tourism and hospitality research in the Philippines. Together, we cultivate knowledge that moves people, empowers communities, and shapes the future. PARTH — where researchers grow, collaborate, and lead.
