This book analyses the development of hospitality education from
vocational to higher education, and discusses the positioning of
hotel schools. It addresses questions such as: Should hospitality
management become part of generic business education? Are the
technical training programmes that have defined the identity of
these schools a remnant of their vocational past, or have they
contributed to the successful careers of many hospitality
graduates? Topics discussed in the book are curriculum innovation,
the theory of experimentation, the nature of hospitable behaviour,
information technology, life-long learning and developments for
future curricula. The book makes clear that the debate on the
balance between theory and practice will not only define the future
of hospitality management education, but can also be considered a
relevant case study in other business disciplines. The history of
hospitality education goes back to the end of the nineteenth and
early twentieth century when hotel schools were founded to train
the protocol and technical skills required to receive the
travellers of those days. Since then, the scale and complexity of
the hospitality industry and its professions have changed, as well
as our understanding of what makes a business -whether it offers
accommodation or something else- "hospitable". The scope and
educational level of hotel schools have evolved accordingly, and
hospitality management has become a popular discipline in the
traditional and renowned hotel schools as well as in universities.
