"This highly authoritative text provides a very timely, reflective and forward-looking critique of tourism and hospitality education and the forces impacting its development and delivery across the world. The breadth and depth of issues included in the text provide comprehensive coverage of the subject with the international and inter-disciplinary approach adopted making it a highly useful, even essential, text for all tourism and hospitality scholars worldwide" - Professor Alan Fyall, Orange County Endowed Professor of Tourism Marketing Rosen College of Hospitality Management, University of Central Florida, USA"The editors have assembled a well crafted, timely and authoritative collection offering rich coverage of educational provision in diverse settings. Based on philosophical principles and drawing upon a strong research base, they convey the dynamic and challenging environment which is confronting tourism and hospitality educators in the classroom and beyond." - Professor Brian King - Associate Dean (Executive Education and Partnership) and Professor, School of Hotel and Tourism Management, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University "Comprehensive and provocative, this book is a "must read" for faculty and administrators in hospitality and tourism programs the world over. It effectively presents the history and evolution of our programs, curricular challenges and innovations, and threats and opportunities for the future. Without doubt, hospitality and tourism have taken their rightful place in the higher education landscape. But, as this handbook so aptly argues, this is a landscape that is forever shifting. It is up to us to successfully navigate these changes and successfully chart a course for the future. Like many of the authors in this volume, I applaud the recognition that hospitality and tourism have the opportunity to shape the world for the better. It is up to us develop the curriculum that makes this abundantly clear; one that provides our students with the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills and values that will help this be so. I have no doubt that this handbook will prove to be an immensely useful resource in this essential endeavour." Julia Christensen Hughes, College of Business and Economics Dean, University of Guelph
