Abstract

This study presents a development framework for tourism and hospitality in higher vocational education in Taiwan. Given the globalisation of the tourism and hospitality industry, increasing the competitiveness of this industry depends on the quality of human resources, thus necessitating the development of tourism and hospitality in higher vocational education. Therefore, this study focuses on the environment for developing such curricula in higher vocational education and relevant management policies, as well as recommendations for future developments. Results of this study provide a valuable reference for tourism and hospitality educators involved in policy innovations and curriculum management. © Journal of Hospitality, Leisure, Sport and Tourism Education.
