“…Introducing new subject areas, such as sustainability and environmental education, into existing curricula has also received adequate research attention (Boley, 2011). Other areas of research include industry involvement in, or relationships with, HT curricula (Gursoy and Swanger, 2005), identifying and meeting industry needs (Mayburry and Swanger, 2011), industry perceptions of curricula (Lee et al , 2009), as well as the incorporation of humanities and liberal education into a HT curriculum in the development of philosophic practitioners (van Hoof and Wu, 2014).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to synthesize and evaluate research on hospitality and tourism education in the past ten years (2005-2014) and to suggest directions for future inquiries. Design/methodology/approach From 13 hospitality and tourism journals, 644 full-length articles were reviewed. A multi-stage process was used to code and analyze each article by two analysts independently to ensure objectivity and accuracy. Two more researchers were involved in discussion to resolve differences in coding. Findings The analysis resulted in five distinctive meta-themes, grounded within 30 sub-themes. Observations are made in terms of teaching and learning, student development, curricula and programs, education environment and faculty development. Areas requiring further scholarly attention under each theme were identified. Research limitations/implications This review provides an important reflection of the scholarly activities over the past decade on hospitality and tourism education, summarizes the current knowledge on various relevant concepts and offers avenues for future education research. Practical implications This review provides a one-stop information source for education and industry practitioners engaged in human capital, professional and executive development practices. Originality/value Operating under the dynamic industry and changing higher education environment, it is timely to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of recent education research to assess whether these activities address the challenges faced.

“…By contrast, an in-depth understanding of human resource management, analytical skills, and financial assessment abilities are verified in other studies to be the key factors for professional success in hospitality ( Kay and Moncarz, 2004 ; Mayo and Thomas-Haysbert, 2005 ). Meanwhile, coupled with corporate social responsibility, especially environmental responsibility, studies validate that the curricula should focus on sustainability and green practice-related abilities ( Johanson et al., 2011 ; Mayburry and Swanger, 2011 ).…”
