“…This could be done through specific projects and by using new methodologies and approaches. An intriguing example is a proposal to organise educational tourism at GadjahMada University in Indonesia, given the interesting architecture on campus, the Biology museum, and the natural beauty of the surrounding areas [37]. The authors argue that to pursue these objectives, university and tourism stakeholders need to create tourism programs and learning materials, and the government should be involved in policy planning, the identification of resources and the management of infrastructures.…”

“…While living and studying abroad, international students also enjoy tourism and boost the local economy with their expenditure on transport, visits to cultural attractions, meals at restaurants and local food [37]. Even so, as Huang [2] noted, most academic tourism theories do not consider international students as tourists, unless their study period at the destination lasts less than one year, because they spend time in non-tourist settings.…”

Educational Tourism and Local Development: The Role of Universities

On the basis of a scoping review of the literature about educational tourism—a type of tourism in which the traveller’s primary or secondary objective is learning—this study summarizes views on how Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) can foster local development through educational tourism. The results show that international students can be considered as educational tourists, and their stay can benefit them and the destination. In this context, the university can actively facilitate relationships between tourists and local stakeholders to foster learning at the destination and improve the sustainability of the local economy; some reports about specific cases are described. We argue that the tourism component should be considered by any institution organising or managing educational programmes, in order to exploit the opportunities offered by the destination for the achievement of learning goals. More specifically, the paper focuses on educational tourism related to HEI students in international mobility programs, who are educational tourists inasmuch as their overall experience at the destination includes leisure and tourism activities. Further research is needed to formulate models of intervention.

“…However, in addition to their academic pursuits, they also visit local attractions and explore other regions of the host countries, either alone or with friends and family [17][18][19]30]. Their travel behaviour shares similarities with other tourists, and their expenditures on transportation, visits to cultural attractions, dining at local restaurants, and consumption of local food contribute to the local economy [46]. Moreover, their positive word-of-mouth, potential for future visits, and the fact that many students receive visits from family and loved ones all contribute to a higher likelihood of repeat visits.…”

This study seeks to expand the understanding of international academic tourism by revisiting concepts and their associations with the internationalisation of higher education and analysing the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. This research takes Portugal as a study case, drawing on secondary data. From a theoretical standpoint, this work makes a significant contribution to addressing persistent conceptual ambiguities. In managerial terms, the findings hold significance for advancing Portugal as an academic tourism destination and raising awareness among tourism and educational stakeholders about the relevance and competitive advantages of international academic tourism. Finally, we reflect upon the pandemic effects and potential repercussions of future challenges on international academic tourism globally.

“…According to Alipour et al (2020), educational tourists refer to international students who cross borders for the sole purpose of the study and do not hold the same nationality as the host country. International students also benefit the local economy by spending money on transportation, trips to specific sites, restaurants, and local food while living and studying abroad (Nugroho & Soeprihanto, 2016). Despite this, most educational tourism studies have focused on why international students opt to study overseas.…”

International students' enrollment in public and private educational institutions has declined due to the Novel Corona Virus 2019 (Covid-19) epidemic. The educational tourism business can profit more if service providers and regulators take a more proactive approach to studying educational tourist behavior in the face of pandemic-related challenges. The purpose of this study is to determine whether educational tourism and institutional physiognomies affect the link between motivational dimensions and destination selection behavior using an augmented Stimuli-Organism-Response (S-O-R) model. Through a review of different works of literature from several fields, this paper analyses the issues and aims of the impending study. The review's findings suggested a conceptual framework for future research that would expand the S-O-R model by examining the interaction between educational tourist motivational features from the Self-Determination Theory (SDT), educational tourist and institution physiognomies, and destination selection behavior. The suggested augmented S-O-R framework will substantially impact the relevant body of knowledge, and the future outcomes will help higher education institutions' strategies for attracting international students' enrollment.
