Critic Reviews
This book valuably prompts readers to reflect upon their own tourism and hospitality education approach and practice, and identify areas for enhancements. Each of the chapters posit transformations in tourism and hospitality education, and considerations for specific design and delivery responses. The considerations cover areas from generative artificial intelligence to feminist approaches, academic integrity, privilege and diversity, collaboration, employability, and authenticity. Glen Croy, Monash University, Australia
This book demands our attention! In these dynamic times with the challenges of an ever changing education environment, this collection offers a diverse range of transformative learning approaches and perspectives to inspire and encourage us to innovate our teaching practices. This book should be in reach of every good educator. Niki Macionis, The University of Queensland, Australia
This timely book explores how contemporary issues like sustainability, AI advancements, and diversity challenge us to reconsider what, how and why we teach in tourism and hospitality. Contributions from international scholars blend theory with practical examples, urging us to rethink curricula and teaching methods that not only prepare graduates to be industry-ready, but also shape them into responsible leaders, capable of driving positive social and personal transformation. Marianna Sigala, University of Newcastle, Australia
We’ve been going round in ever diminishing circles trying to solve the wicked problems of the management, methods and marking of our teaching, training and transformation in tourism, hospitality and events – this book is the circuit breaker! Naomi Dale, University of Canberra, Australia
