This book presents research conducted on the validity of
hospitality education and training degrees in Macau in the period
preceding the explosive growth in tourism precipitated by the
regulation of its lucrative gaming industry. The Macau Special
Administrative Region (SAR) is a major regional tourist destination
principally because of its reputation as a gaming haven and is
known as the "Las Vegas of the East." With the high volume of
inbound tourists into a tiny territory, the hotel industry plays a
key role in the success of tourism per se and the local hospitality
industry patronised by the local populace. The provision of high
quality personnel is therefore critical and the challenge faced by
Macau is to wean itself from the dependence on expatriate human
resources and to nurture local expertise. This book provides an
historical account of hospitality management education and explores
the impact of healthy education-industry linkage on meeting
education goals in hospitality management.
