Re-engineering Tourism Education Post-COVID-19

Abstract

This study aims to highlight the post-COVID-19 trends in tourism education within the context of Transformational Learning Theory (TLT). This theory represents a transition in an individual's consciousness and the world beliefs and is usually applied in traditional educational system context. As the current educational system is altering and moving from traditional to digital classrooms, this chapter will explore the 10 phases of the transformative learning process in the upcoming educational trends. The study is conceptual and suggests that reformation of tourism education be adopted from the existing norms of TLT.
