Since 2013, programme participants have documented global events showing the confluence of conflict and development using images, interviews, and other methods. This year, we focus on how hospitality and tourism have aided in promoting peace. The Howard G. Buffett Foundation Endowed Chair on Conflict and Development at Texas A&M provides funding for these grants.
