This book explores the changing landscape of tourism education in
the global context. It examines and seeks to provide answers to
three main questions: What knowledge and skills should tourism
students be exposed to? How should tourism education programs at
all levels be designed to create responsible leaders for the future
of tourism? What is the employability and range of careers students
can expect after graduation? The book will also delve into the
issues related to curriculum design and pedagogical innovation in
some detail including technological innovation. It will explore new
possibilities in alternative disciplinary approaches to the study
of tourism, theoretical concepts in tourism education,
cross-disciplinarity, multi-disciplinarity, inter-disciplinarity
and trans-disciplinarity. The challenges of institutional rigidity
in different national contexts will be explored as well as tourism
education in the developing world.
This volume explores the links between the rapidly growing
phenomenon of social entrepreneurship (SE) and the international
tourism and hospitality industry. This unique industry is
particularly ripe for transformation by SE and the book's authors
delve deeply into the reasons for this. The book has three parts.
The first creates a conceptual and theoretical framework for
understanding the uniqueness of SE in the tourism context. The
second examines different communities of practice where SE is being
applied in tourism. The third is a rich collection of case studies
from eight countries where tourism SE is already having an impact.
The book's authors address the topic from many different angles,
disciplinary backgrounds and geographic areas. Many case study
authors are practicing social entrepreneurs who share their
successes, challenges and experience with tourism-related projects.
The book also proposes a research agenda and educational
programmatic changes needed to support tourism SE. As these are
developed, tourism SE will bring innovation to destinations,
transformation of their economic and social structures, and
contribution to a better world. The book has many insights and
resources for scholars and practitioners alike to usher in this
transformation.
